Backing up the CIM server repository z/OS Common Information Model User's Guide SC34-2671-00 |
|
Backing up the CIM server repositoryThe CIM server keeps definitions of the data about managed objects and their providers in its repository located in /var/wbem. It is important to schedule backups of the repository directories and files. If the repository is deleted or corrupted, backups of the repository files need to be restored. If the repository files cannot be restored from a backup, refer to section Migration from z/OS 1.12 or z/OS 1.13 to z/OS 2.1 for information about how to recover the repository. As recommended in the z/OS Program Directory, the path /var/wbem should be mounted as a separate data set to simplify backing up. It is also recommended to stop the CIM server during backup to avoid data corruption. Note:
If the repository was backed up from a
prior z/OS release, it should not be restored onto a system that
runs a later version of z/OS. Once a new version of z/OS was installed
and the CIM server has been initially started, you should immediately
back up the upgraded repository and discard old repository backups.
