Backing up and Restoring the Configuration

recommends that you regularly back up the configuration of Ops Connector for OEM—copy the changes that you made to the predefined 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 OEM configuration, follow the steps:

1. To prevent changes to the Operations Connector policies, log off from the Operations Connector web interface.

2. To prevent changes to the integration services configuration, close the text editor in which service configuration (for events) and properties (for topology) files are open.

3. Choose a safe location to store the backup copies. Write down the absolute path of the backup directory.

   Although you can create the backup copies in the original directories or, for example, in the <OvDataDir>/installation/HPBsmIntOEM/userconf directory, recommends that you choose a location outside the <OvInstallDir> and <OvDataDir> directories (preferably on a different host) for security reasons.

4. Copy the following items to the backup directory:

   Item	Filesystem Objects to Copy
   Integration services configuration	Entire <OvDataDir>/conf/HPBsmIntOEM/ 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 Ops Connector for OEM event integration services must be registered with Operations Agent.

  Registration is performed either automatically by the Software Installer during product installation or manually as part of the documented installation procedure.

• The integration services must be stopped.

To restore the Ops Connector for OEM 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
   Contents of the genint directory	Directory <OvDataDir>/conf/HPBsmIntOEM/classpath
   Files <PolicyUUID>_data and <PolicyUUID>_header.xml of each policy	Directory <OvDataDir>/datafiles/policymanagement/store

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

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