Considerations

You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See the Export job command and CLUI Set Server
command.

After creating a copy, HP recommends that administrators move or back up the copy to a
physically separate server or storage device.

The security credentials for enabled hosts are not included in an exported database.

Procedure

This procedure uses the GUI.

1.

Select File > Export RSM Database.

The Export RSM Database window opens.

2.

Enter an existing directory (full path) where you want the copy to be created. For example:

C:\colorado

.

3.

Do one of the following:

If you want to name the file, enter a name, for example
RSMdb_on_server2_Mar_15_2007

. Do not include a file extension. The replication

manager automatically adds the extension .xml.

If you want the replication manager to assign a file name, leave the file name box empty.
See

About exports

for the file name format.

4.

Accept or deselect the option to overwrite the file you entered in the previous step.

5.

Click OK.

An implicit job is started. The results and number of processed resources appear in the Monitor
job window.

6.

The replication manager creates and XML copy of the RSM database in the location that you
specified. See

About exports

.

Importing an RSM database

This feature allows administrators to import a previously exported copy of the RSM database. See

RSM database

. See also

Importing a remote RSM database.

Considerations

You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See the Import job command and CLUI Set Server
command.

The database copy to be imported must be on the same management server as the active
database. Importing an RSM database by specifying a network share drive is not supported.

You must know the exact database copy file name and location (drive letter, full path name).
You cannot search for exported files from the replication manager.
