After you run the OVP
to verify the successful installation and configuration of the system,
HP recommends that you take a snapshot of the configuration and management
database to create a baseline version. A baseline copy of the database
can be useful if you have to restore the database to its original
state.
Enter the following command to back up the configuration
and management database to a file. If you do not specify a directory,
the default location for the backup file is in the /var/hptc/database directory. Consider adding a date and time stamp to the file name
to determine at a glance when the backup file was created.
# managedb backup your_filename |
Depending upon your corporate security policy for
managing system and database backups, consider storing the database
backup file on a remote system as an additional precaution.
The HP XC System Software Administration Guide provides information about basic
database management commands. For more information about managing
the configuration and management database, consult the MySQL Reference Manual, which is available at the following
website:
