Backing up or Restoring the Database on the HP-UX or Linux Operating System

A PostgreSQL server database is used in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to store all data relating to HP SIM. Back up your database regularly.

Use the PostgreSQL utilities to back up or restore the database:

  • Use the pg_dump utility to back up the database.

  • Use the psql utility to restore the database.

Refer to the manpages for these utilities for additional information.

Changing the HP SIM Database Password

During the HP SIM configuration, the mxadmin user is created in PostgreSQL, and the password is generated. You must change the password before you can use the pg_dump and psql utilities.

Enter /opt/mx/bin/mxpassword –m –x MxDBUserPassword=newpassword to change the HP SIM database password.
