Backing Up And Restoring Product Manager Data - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 User Manual

Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data

As long as a Zip® disk remains in the Zip drive of the HAFM server, critical
information from both the Product Manager and HAFM applications automatically
backs up to the Zip disk when the data directory contents change or when you reboot
the HAFM server.
The application used for this function is Iomega® QuikSync, a separate application
installed on the HAFM server. QuikSync is configured to automatically mirror the
contents of the HafmData directory to the Zip drive when the contents are changed or
when you reboot the HAFM server. This directory contains all HAFM and Product
Manager data, so it can be copied back to a newly restored HAFM server to fully
recover the preferred operating environment.
The mirroring operation will only occur while a user is logged in to Windows on the
HAFM server PC (independent of the HAFM login).
The data contained in the HafmData directory and mirrored to the Zip disk includes
the following:
• All HAFM configuration including:
— Product definitions
— User names, encrypted passwords, and user rights.
— Nicknames
— Session options
— HAFM SNMP configurations
— E-mail configuration
• All log files (both HAFM log files and individual Product Manager log files).
• Zoning library (all zone sets and zone definitions).
• Firmware library.
• Call-home configuration (including phone numbers and dialing options).
• Configuration data saved to the HafmData directory through the Backup &
Restore Configuration option on the Product Manager Maintenance menu.
