HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 185)

CAUTION:
HP Strongly insists not to manually copy or use the drag and drop feature to move the PADB folder
to the target management station, or another location on the source management station. This action
will result in irrevocable loss of data. Use only the Backup utility provided by P9000 Performance
Advisor to migrate data.
IMPORTANT:
•
To use the Backup utility, ensure that the same version of P9000 Performance Advisor is installed
on both the source and target management stations.
• Do not modify the default settings that is configured for the P9000 Performance Advisor database
at the time of installation or upgrade.
• If you have already configured the serverparameters.properties file on the target man-
agement station, it will be replaced with the serverparameters.properties file that you
backed up from the source management station. After you restore the database, the HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor Tomcat service is automatically restarted to reflect the latest
settings.
