Copy configurations between servers

You can export configuration content from one system and import it to other systems using the Content Manager:

Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Content Packs

Alternatively, click Content Packs.

To enable exporting configuration, on the primary OMi server, create a content pack with the configuration content you want to export. To ensure that all desired configuration artifacts are included in the Content Pack, check that the following objects are present:

  • The Required Configuration Folders

    Aspects, management templates, and their respective versions are automatically included.

  • The Required Template Versions

    The templates not already included in an aspect or management template that is part of the content pack definition are automatically included.

  • The Required Instrumentation

    The instrumentation not used by a template or aspect is automatically included.

  • The Required Template Groups

For more information, see Define Content Packs.

Note Exporting and importing the links to the aspects, management templates, policy templates that are assigned to a CI is not supported.

When the content pack is complete, select it in the list of Content Pack Definitions (left pane) and click Export Content Pack Definitions and Content. The configuration data is exported as an archive with the zip extension. Transfer the archive to the file system on which your browser session is running (this system may be your secondary server), start OMi, and go to the Content Manager UI.

Click Import Content Pack Definitions and Content, browse to the transferred content pack, and click Import to upload the configuration.

Note Content Packs imported through the Content Manager UI must be accessible by the system on which your browser session is running.
