7.2 Backing up data in JP1/AO (Windows cluster configuration)
This section describes how to back up configuration information and database information for JP1/AO before performing tasks such as migrating JP1/AO to a new host or maintaining the database.
- Important
When you back up and restore data in a JP1/AO system, some elements of the data do not survive the backup process. For example, some detailed task information (step lists and progress information) is lost, and some task statuses are changed.
Make sure that sufficient free space is available on the disk on which the folder for backup files is located. As a general rule, the amount of free space should exceed the size of the backup files by 20 MB.
Who can perform this task:
Domain users who have Administrators permission for the OS and cluster management permission
To back up a JP1/AO system (cluster configuration):
Make sure that there are no tasks in execution status (In Progress, Waiting for Input, In Progress (with Error), In Progress (Terminating), or Long Running). If there are such tasks in the system, either stop the tasks, or wait until they enter Completed or Failed status.
Take the following services and scripts offline in the cluster software:
HAutomation Engine Web Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt SSO Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web SSO Service
Services associated with Hitachi Command Suite products
Shut down the JP1/AO system by executing the hcmds64srv command with the stop option specified.
In the cluster software, take the HiRDB/ClusterService_HD1 service offline.
Disable failover of the services and scripts below in the cluster software.
Configure the cluster software to not restart resources that enter Failed status.
HiRDB/ClusterService _HD1
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt SSO Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web SSO Service
HAutomation Engine Web Service
Services associated with Hitachi Command Suite products
Execute the backupsystem command to back up the JP1/AO database and configuration information.
- Tip
The backupsystem command does not back up the files below. Back them up manually as needed.
SSL server certificate files for https connections
Private key files for https connections
Private key files for public key authentication
Shut down the JP1/AO system by executing the hcmds64srv command with the stop option specified.
Enable failover of the services and scripts below in the cluster software.
Configure the cluster to attempt to restart failed resources on the same node, and then fail over those resources if the attempt to restart them fails.
HiRDB/ClusterService _HD1
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt SSO Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web SSO Service
HAutomation Engine Web Service
Services associated with Hitachi Command Suite products
In the cluster software, place the following services and scripts online:
HiRDB/ClusterService _HD1
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt SSO Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web Service
HBase 64 Storage Mgmt Web SSO Service
HAutomation Engine Web Service

Result of operation:
Data is backed up to the specified backup folder.
