HP Insight Management-Software - Manual (Page 110)

To uninstall VCEM:
• Select Start
→All Programs→Insight Software→Uninstall HP Insight Software.
NOTE: Depending on your operating system, the following menu options might slightly vary.
• From the Control Panel:
1.
Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Insight Software.
3. Click Remove.
IMPORTANT: The uninstall operation does not remove a VCEM folder from installation
directory, such as C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager\. The folder is
empty and no system damage or inability to reinstall or upgrade VCEM again in the future
occurs.
Backing up and restoring VCEM
In the event of catastrophic and complete VCEM failure, all server blades continue to operate, and
the integrity of the server application and data are not compromised.
VCEM can be restored to an operational state after complete loss of the VCEM Application or
Database. While it is possible to restore VCEM to its state before the loss, minor or major
configuration loss might occur, depending on the availability of a database backup. If no database
backup is available, then a large amount of information can be reconstructed from the contents of
the Virtual Connect modules.
It is important that you understand what information is stored in the database, and can be lost
without proper backup practices.
Table 13-1 “Components restored without a backup strategy”
describes what components are recovered if there is not backup strategy in place.
Table 13-1 Components restored without a backup strategy
Management server stored components Restored components
Unassigned server profiles Local user accounts
VC Domain Groups Network and SAN configurations
MAC and WWN exclusions Assigned server profiles
The Domain Network and SAN Configuration and assigned Server Profiles can be recovered from
the Virtual Connect modules. The VC Domain Group definitions, MAC and WWN custom ranges,
and MAC and WWN address exclusions are stored only on the Management Server.
For more information on performing backups and restoring VCEM, see “Backing up and restoring
HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 data files in a Windows environment” on the Systems Insight
Manager Information Library .
No HP-predefined ranges for MAC and WWN addresses in VC Domain
Groups
After upgrading VCEM 1.40, VC Domain Groups that were using HP-predefined ranges for MAC
and WWN addresses will start using VCEM-defined ranges for new server profiles. VCEM 1.40
and later do not use HP-predefined ranges for MAC and WWN addresses.
