Importing data
You can import the archived data to another management station or back to the same management
station from where the data was initially exported.
CAUTION:
•
You must import the data to the same version of the management station as that of the installed
P9000 Performance Advisor.
For example: If you have installed P9000 Performance Advisor v5.3, then you must import the
data to management station version 5.3.
• The import operation fails, if there is not enough free space in the database to accommodate the
imported data. To start an import operation, P9000 Performance Advisor requires that there be
sufficient space in the database, at least matching the size of the exported data. You must either
archive or purge some of the existing data before you begin the import operation.
• If you are importing data when the auto purge is in progress, the data import activity still continues.
However, if the imported data happens to be among the oldest data that P9000 Performance
Advisor has selected for purging, the data being imported is also purged automatically. Hence,
it is highly recommended that there be enough disk space available on that management station,
where the data import activity is initiated.
• Do not move the .dmp files from <HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\ or copy the
.dmp
files to any other location, because P9000 Performance Advisor accesses these files only
from <HPSS_HOME>\padb\admin\PADB\dpdump\ on your management station.
