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.
• After an import has been run, additional procedures are required to make the imported resources
available. See
• See also importing an RSM database

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
Considerations
• You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See the
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 yourself, 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.
