save you time with exporting the database if your database includes a large amount of report data.

7.Click Export Database.

Importing the Database

You can revert to an earlier configuration by uploading a file (*.zip) containing the database information.

The software stores a snapshot of the data in its database. Since this file is a snapshot of the network at a certain time, it may not contain your most current network configuration. If you want to view an up-to-date network configuration and the latest information about the elements, perform discovery and Discovery Data Collection.

To import a database:

1.Access the Database Admin Utility as described in ”Accessing the Database Admin Utility” on page 233.

2.Select one of the following check boxes depending on the database you want to import:

•Import SE Schema—Import the Storage Essentials data from your database file.

•Import HPSIM Schema—Import the HP System Insight Manager data from your database file.

3.Click Import Database in the left pane.

4.Click Browse, select a database file with a .zip extension to import, and click Open. The file name is displayed in the Database Admin Utility.

5.Enter the password of the SYSTEM account, and click OK. The default password of the SYSTEM account is manager.

You are notified when the database process is complete.

6.Select Populate Report Cache if you want to refresh the reports cache during the import. Keep in mind that the amount of time to import the database may increase if you select this option when the database has a large amount of data for reports. You can instead refresh the report cache from the management server (Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration > Report Cache).

7.(For non-production systems only) Select Include Management DB if you want to include management data for the management server host. This option, which is for support purposes only, provides data on the health of the product so you can determine if there is an issue with the management server itself.

IMPORTANT: Do not use this feature on production systems. Selecting this option affects product health reporting.

8.Click the Import Database button.
