6.1.1 Managing the configuration information
The restoration here means to return the files to the state when their backups were taken. Note that the backup and restoration process described in this section is not available for duplication between servers and file migration.
When you perform backup and restoration, all of the following items must match on the backup source and the restoration destination:
-
Host name
-
IP address
-
PP model name
-
PP version (match the format of VVRRZZ)
-
Directory structure used by the product (permissions and the like must match)
It is assumed that OS and hardware on the source and the destination are able to perform the same operations.
If the above conditions are not met, you will need to move files.
OS commands or backup software can be used for a full backup of the entire system. However, we recommend that you back up or restoration data by using the commands provided with individual JP1/IM - EG for NNMi functions that do not depend on the OS commands or backup software. If you use OS commands or backup software, the following conditions must be met:
-
Data is backed up when all JP1/IM - EG for NNMi services, including the IM database, have been stopped.
-
Data is backed up when all file and registry information, including the information registered in the OS, is consistent.
-
The backup target files are not sparse files.
