Backing Up and Restoring DCM

Controller Data

You should back up your configuration and data regularly in case of network or appliance failure. You can then restore the configuration and data, if it becomes necessary, keeping your structure of pods, connection classes, and connections intact.

DCM Controller includes scripts for completing the backup and restore process.

Using the Backup Script

To back up your configuration and data, you will run a backup script from the Linux command line. The script creates an archive file that stores your settings and logical objects in a directory of your choice. Then, if necessary, you can restore the data from the archived file.

Follow the instructions below:

1.Use terminal software such as Tera Term or PuTTY to open a session with the DCM Controller. Either:

•A Secure Shell (SSH) session to the HP ProCurve Datacenter Connec- tion Manager (DCM) Controller’s IP address

•A console session

2.When prompted for the username, enter root.

3.When prompted for the password, enter the root password (default: procurve). The root command line prompt is displayed:

ProCurve DCM(mydcm):~#
