Restoring the configuration to the preconfiguration state

If certain problems occur, you might want to restore the Operations Center configuration to the preconfigured state where the IBM Spectrum® Protect servers are not defined as hub or spoke servers.

Procedure

To restore the configuration, complete the following steps:

  1. Stop the Operations Center web server.
  2. Unconfigure the hub server by completing the following steps:
    1. On the hub server, issue the following commands:
      SET MONITORINGADMIN ""
      SET MONITOREDSERVERGROUP ""
      SET STATUSMONITOR OFF
      SET ALERTMONITOR OFF
      REMOVE ADMIN IBM-OC-hub_server_name
      Tip: IBM-OC-hub_server_name represents the monitoring administrator ID that was automatically created when you initially configured the hub server.
    2. Reset the password for the hub server by issuing the following command on the hub server:
      SET SERVERPASSWORD ""
      Attention: Do not complete this step if the hub server is configured with other servers for other purposes, such as library sharing, exporting and importing of data, or node replication.
  3. Unconfigure any spoke servers by completing the following steps:
    1. On the hub server, to determine whether any spoke servers remain as members of the server group, issue the following command:
      QUERY SERVERGROUP IBM-OC-hub_server_name
      Tip: IBM-OC-hub_server_name represents the name of the monitored server group that was automatically created when you configured the first spoke server. This server group name is also the same as the monitoring administrator ID that was automatically created when you initially configured the hub server.
    2. On the hub server, to delete spoke servers from the server group, issue the following command for each spoke server:
      DELETE GRPMEMBER IBM-OC-hub_server_name spoke_server_name
    3. After all spoke servers are deleted from the server group, issue the following commands on the hub server:
      DELETE SERVERGROUP IBM-OC-hub_server_name
      SET MONITOREDSERVERGROUP ""
    4. On each spoke server, issue the following commands:
      REMOVE ADMIN IBM-OC-hub_server_name
      SETOPT PUSHSTATUS NO
      SET ALERTMONITOR OFF
      SET STATUSMONITOR OFF
    5. On each spoke server, delete the definition of the hub server by issuing the following command:
      DELETE SERVER hub_server_name
      Attention: Do not complete this step if the definition is used for other purposes, such as library sharing, exporting and importing of data, or node replication.
    6. On the hub server, delete the definition of each spoke server by issuing the following command:
      DELETE SERVER spoke_server_name
      Attention: Do not complete this step if the server definition is used for other purposes, such as library sharing, exporting and importing of data, or node replication.
  4. Restore the default settings on each server by issuing the following commands:
    SET STATUSREFRESHINTERVAL 5
    SET ALERTUPDATEINTERVAL 10
    SET ALERTACTIVEDURATION 480
    SET ALERTINACTIVEDURATION 480
    SET ALERTCLOSEDDURATION 60
    SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=AP INTERVAL=24
    SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=VM INTERVAL=24
    SET STATUSATRISKINTERVAL TYPE=SY INTERVAL=24
    SET STATUSSKIPASFAILURE YES TYPE=ALL
  5. Restart the initial configuration wizard of the Operations Center.
