The active RSM database cannot be accessed by administrators or users. Administrators, however,
can export and import copies of the database. See

Importing a remote RSM database
About exports
The export feature creates a copy (XML file) of the active RSM database.
•
Exported copies can only be created in an existing folder on the storage management server.
•
You can assign a file name or let the replication manager automatically assign a name.
•
Automatically assigned file names have the format: CADATA_timestamp.export.xml
where timestamp is the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second the file was created. For
example, the file CADATA_20050211135232.export.xml was created on February 11,
2005, at 13:52:32.
•
Stored security credentials for resources and scheduled job events are not included in the
exported copies.
•
All scheduled job events are exported with a status of a run status of disabled. For more
information on jobs, see the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command Reference.

About imports
The import feature merges the content of a previously exported RSM database or a remote RSM
database with the content of the currently active database.
•
Importing processing is as follows:
When a storage or host resource exists in both the imported and active RSM database, the active
database record is overwritten with the imported record.
When a storage or host resource exists only in the imported RSM database, a record is added to
the active database.
When a job or managed set exists in both the imported and active RSM database, the active
database record is not overwritten. Instead, a new record is added and the job or managed set
name is modified with the characters _# to make it unique.
•
If you use RSM jobs to import RSM databases, do not allow more than one import-job to run
at a time. If two or more import-jobs run at the same time, the jobs may fail, but will incorrectly
report that they completed successfully.
•
After an import has been run, additional procedures are required to make the imported
resources available. See

Exporting an RSM database
This feature allows administrators to create a copy of the active RSM database. The copy is created
on the same management server as the active database. See
