Restoring HDvM - SN configuration files

You can use a saved copy of a configuration file to restore the active configuration file if it becomes necessary, or to configure a replacement SVP if one fails.

Before you begin

  • The storage systems registered in the SVP you backed up are registered in a new SVP.
  • The services on the storage system are stopped.
  • The SVP is configured so that the service does not start automatically when starting the system. See the Hardware Reference Guide for your storage system model for information about the SVP configuration method.

Procedure

  1. Copy the backup file to any folder in the SVP.

  2. Open a command prompt window with administrator permissions.

  3. Enter the following command:

    C:\MAPP\wk\Supervisor\MappIniSet\MappRestore.bat absolute-path-of-backup-file
    Note
    • The backup file must be in .tgz format.
    • A space is required between MappRestore.bat and the path to the backup file.

  4. A completion message displays.

  5. Type a key to close the message, and then close the command prompt.

  6. Set the service to run automatically when starting the SVP.

  7. Reboot the SVP. It takes about 10 minutes to complete the startup process.
