HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.0-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)

Prerequisites and restrictions on migrating databases
The following are notes on the databases, product types, versions, and user information of P9000
Command View AE Suite products on the migration source and destination servers.
Notes on databases, product types, and versions of P9000 Command View AE Suite products:
• If Replication Monitor 5.x or earlier is already installed on the migration source server, before
exporting the database, upgrade the product to version 6.0 or later on both the migration
source and destination servers.
If Replication Monitor cannot be upgraded to version 6.0 or later or if migrating the database
is not required, remove Replication Monitor from the products whose databases are to be
imported.
• Databases that are exported from an environment where Device Manager 6.x or earlier is
installed can be imported to an environment where Device Manager 7.0 or later is installed.
This can be done just once, only after Device Manager 7.0 or later is newly installed. After
the product is installed and overwritten to version 7.0 or later or when operation has started
on the migration destination server, do not import the database of 6.x or earlier again.
Notes on user information:
• If there is user information on the migration destination server, this user information will be
replaced with the user information from the migration source server. Therefore, do not perform
a migration to a server on which user information for P9000 Command View AE Suite products
already exists.
• Do not migrate the databases of P9000 Command View AE Suite products that were running
on different management servers to one management server because user information will be
overwritten.
Procedure for migrating databases
To migrate databases:
1. On the migration destination server, install the P9000 Command View AE Suite products whose
databases will be migrated.
2. Export the databases from the migration source server by using the hcmdsdbtrans command.
3. Transfer the archive file from the source server to the destination server.
4. Import the databases into the destination server by using the hcmdsdbtrans command.
The following sections describe each step.
Installing P9000 Command View AE Suite on the migration-destination server
On the migration source server, install the P9000 Command View AE Suite products whose databases
will be migrated. Databases of P9000 Command View AE Suite products that do not exist on the
migration destination server cannot be migrated. Install necessary products on the migration destination
server before migration.
The versions of the P9000 Command View AE Suite products installed on the migration destination
server must be the same as or later than the ones on the migration source server. If any of the versions
of the 9000 Command View AE Suite products installed on the migration destination server are earlier
than the ones on the migration source server, no databases can be migrated.
