•
PA<XP or XP7_Disk_Array>_Exp.dmp
up
to PA<XP or
XP7_Disk_Array>_Exp5.dmp
•
xpslperf_Data1<XP or
XP7_Disk_Array>.dmp up
to xpslperf_Data5<XP
or XP7_Disk_Array>.dmp
xpslperfConfigData6.dmp , which contains the
configuration data
The
.dmp files are generated only for those components

Space requirements
•
Before taking a backup of the database, make a note of the Current Database Size under the
DB Configuration/Purge tab.
•
While restoring the database, ensure that the total available space on the disk where the
database is already installed is more than the backed up database. If the database is installed
on C:\HPSS\padb, the total available free disk space on C: must be greater than the size
of the database that be restored.
•
Before restoring the database, increase the Configured Maximum Database Size of the target
database by a value equal to the sum of the current target database size + size
of the database that is to be restored
. If the current database size is 5 GB and
the size of the database to be restored is 12.452 GB, change the Configured Maximum
Database Size under the DB Configuration/Purge tab to a size greater than 5 GB + 12.452
GB, which is 17.452 GB. So, increase the database size to 18 GB.
It is to avoid the automatic purging of data from the target management station database. For
more information on auto purge, see
“Automatically purging data” (page 147) .
