Best practices for restoring an appliance
Topic
Best Practice
Before you begin 1. Review the release notes to verify that the backup is compatible with the HPE OneView version
being restored.
2. Take a support dump before the restore operation, if you are restoring onto the same appliance
where you have taken the backup. Taking a support dump helps the support representative to
troubleshoot problems that might have existed before the restore operation.
3. Download the existing audit logs, and store them for safekeeping.
4. Make the backup file accessible to the appliance you want to restore. If you are using an
enterprise backup product to archive backup files, follow any steps required by your backup
product to prepare for the restore operation.
WARNING: The current backup file stored on the appliance will be deleted during the
restore process. Download the backup file and store it in a safe, off-appliance location for
future restorations.
Inform users
Make sure that all users logged in to the appliance log out. Users who are logged in when the restore
operation begins are automatically logged out, losing whatever work was in progress. All users are
blocked from logging in during the restore operation.
Use the right
backup file
• Use the latest backup file to restore the appliance. The backup file will not include any changes
made after the backup file was created.
• Ensure that the appliance being restored and the appliance on which the backup file was created
have the same appliance firmware version. If the backup file is incompatible with the firmware on
the appliance, the upload returns an error and the restore operation stops. Update the firmware
or select a different backup file.
Image Streamer appliance claim and reset
Any Image Streamer appliance inserted into a CIM slot must be claimed by HPE OneView before it can be used for OS
Deployment. Once you insert an Image Streamer appliance into a CIM slot, HPE OneView attempts to claim the appliance.
