Back up and Restore Configuration

It is recommended that you regularly back up the configuration of OpsCx for SIM—copy the changes that you made to the predefined OpsCx for SIM settings to a safe location. You can later use the backup copies to:

• Revert to a working configuration in case of a wrong or non-functioning configuration

• Preserve configuration history for future reference

• Migrate the settings after a product reinstallation or upgrade

Backing up the Configuration

To back up the OpsCx for SIM configuration, follow the steps:

1. Copy the following items to the backup directory:

   Item	Filesystem Objects to Copy
   Integration services configuration	Entire <OvDataDir>/conf/HPBsmIntSIM directory
   Operations Connector policies	For each applicable policy: the <PolicyUUID>_data and <PolicyUUID>_header.xml files from the <OvDataDir>/datafiles/policymanagement/store directory

Restoring the Configuration

Prerequisites for restore:

• The components corresponding to the OpsCx for SIM integration services must be registered with Operations Agent.

  Registration is performed automatically by the installer program during product installation.

• The integration services must be stopped.

To restore the OpsCx for SIM configuration, follow the steps:

1. Copy the following items from the backup directory (and allow the copy process to overwrite the objects at the target locations):

   Item	Target Location
   The HPBsmIntSIM directory	Directory <OvDataDir>/conf
   Files <PolicyUUID>_data and <PolicyUUID>_header.xml of each policy	Directory <OvDataDir>/datafiles/policymanagement/store

2. Activate the Operations Connector policies. For instructions, see the relevant steps in Configuring Event Collection topic and Configuring Topology Collection topic.

3. Start the configured integration services. For instructions, see Starting and Stopping the Services topic.
