data from the HP XP7 Performance Advisor

database

for a duration that you want. Enter the duration

The data available for all the XP and the XP7 disk

arrays

during the specified duration is backed up into

the

following .dmp files:

PA_Exp.dmp
up

to PA

XP7_Disk_Array>_Exp5.dmp

xpslperf_Data1

XP7_Disk_Array>.dmp

up

to xpslperf_Data5

or XP7_Disk_Array>.dmp

xpslperfConfigData6.dmp

, which contains the

configuration data

The

.dmp files are generated only for those components

that

are configured on the XP/XP7 disk arrays. The

corresponding

log files provide the list of components for

which

the data is imported into the .dmp files.

Select this option to migrate the configuration and
performance data from the HP XP7 Performance Advisor
database into the following .dmp files:

Space requirements

Before taking a backup of the database, make a note of the Current Database Size under the
DB Configuration/Purge tab.

While restoring the database, ensure that the total available space on the disk where the
database is already installed is more than the backed up database. If the database is installed
on C:\HPSS\padb, the total available free disk space on C: must be greater than the size
of the database that be restored.

Before restoring the database, increase the Configured Maximum Database Size of the target
database by a value equal to the sum of the current target database size + size
of the database that is to be restored

. If the current database size is 5 GB and

the size of the database to be restored is 12.452 GB, change the Configured Maximum
Database Size under the DB Configuration/Purge tab to a size greater than 5 GB + 12.452
GB, which is 17.452 GB. So, increase the database size to 18 GB.

It is to avoid the automatic purging of data from the target management station database. For
more information on auto purge, see

“Automatically purging data” (page 147)

.
