Backing Up And Restoring Hvm Configuration - Hitachi NVM Navigator v03-07 User Manual

Backing up and restoring HVM configuration

When there are LPARs which have failed to be recovered, backed up HVM
configuration is necessary.
So, back up HVM configurations on the source and destination server blades
before and after executing LPAR migration.
In addition, do not back up an HVM configuration through an SC/BSM, the web
console for CB500, or the web console for CB2500 while saving the HVM
configuration or executing LPAR migration because a defective HVM
configuration is backed up.
When such a defective HVM configuration is backed up, save the HVM
configuration or execute LPAR migration and then back up the HVM
configuration again.
Backing up HVM configuration
An HVM configuration can be backed up through an SC/BSM, the web console
for CB500, or the web console for CB2500.
Back up HVM configurations on the source and destination server blades and
maintain the two HVM configurations together.
Restoring HVM configuration
An HVM configuration can be restored through an SC/BSM, the web console for
CB500, or the web console for CB2500.
Restore HVM configurations on the source and destination server blades
together because MAC addresses and WWNs are duplicated on the source and
destination server blades when either of the source or destination HVM
configuration is restored.
