Backing up and Restoring the Configuration

It is recommended that you regularly back up the configuration of Ops Connector for IBM Tivoli copy the changes that you made to the predefined Ops Connector for IBM Tivoli 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 Ops Connector for IBM Tivoli configuration, follow the steps:

  1. Copy the following items to the backup directory:

    Item Filesystem Objects to Copy

    Integration services configuration

    Entire <OvDataDir>/conf/HPBsmIntTivoli directory

    Operations Connector policies

    For each applicable policy: the <PolicyUUID>_data and <PolicyUUID>_header.xml files from the <OvDataDir>/datafiles/policymanagement/store directory
    Event backward synchronization configuration file <OvDataDir>/conf/backsync/HPBsmIntTivoli-backsync.cfg

Restoring the Configuration

Prerequisites for restore:

  • The components corresponding to the Ops Connector for IBM Tivoli integration services must be registered with Operations Agent.

    Registration is performed automatically by the Software Installer during product installation.

  • The integration services must be stopped.

To restore the Ops Connector for IBM Tivoli 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 HPBsmIntTivoli directory

    Directory <OvDataDir>/conf
    Files <PolicyUUID>_data and <PolicyUUID>_header.xml of each policy Directory <OvDataDir>/datafiles/policymanagement/store
    HPBsmIntTivoli-backsync.cfg <OvDataDir>/conf/backsync
  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 Managing the Integration Services topic.
