Backing Up and Restoring Rack and Power Manager
It is always preferable to restore from a full system backup. In the event that a full system backup is not possible, all settings, configurations and devices for HP Rack and Power Manager are stored in the DEVICEDB1.GDB, DB.INI and ISC4.GDB files. At a minimum, it is best to ensure that these files are backed up on a regular basis. If the HP Rack and Power Manager Management Server must be recovered and a full system backup is not available, the Management Server can be recovered using the following steps:
1.Install a new copy of HP Rack and Power Manager.
2.Stop these services or processes in the following order:
Friendly Name | Windows Service Name | Linux Process Name |
a. HP Management Server | HP Management Server | HP Service Manager |
|
| HP Device Manager |
|
| HP Discovery Manager |
|
| HP Rack Manager |
b. Firebird Guardian Service | InterBaseGuardian | ibguard |
c. Firebird Server (if not already stopped) | InterBaseServer | ibserver |
3.Replace the DEVICESDB1.GDB, DB.INI and ISC4.GDB files in the directory in which HP Rack and Power Manager installed them.
4.Restart services or processes in the following order:
a.Firebird Guardian Service
b.Firebird Server (if not already started)
c.HP Management Server
5.After the files have been replaced, log in using the original (backed up) user name and password.
NOTE: Serial Relay Agents and System Agents do not need to restore any files upon reinstallation.
