After you install Cloud Manager on a new host, you can import an existing configuration to the new Cloud Manager database.
Before you begin
The new
Cloud Manager host must have connectivity to the existing
Cloud Manager host. If the host does not have connectivity, you must manually back up your existing configuration, choose the option to set up a new
Cloud Manager configuration, and then import the backup into the new
Cloud Manager configuration.
Steps
- Open a web browser and enter the following URL: https://ipaddress:port
ipaddress can be localhost, a private IP address, or a public IP address, depending on the configuration of the Cloud Manager host. For example, if Cloud Manager is installed in AWS and the instance does not have a public IP address, you must enter a private IP address from a host in AWS that has a connection to the Cloud Manager host.
port is required if you changed the default HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443) ports. For example, if the HTTPS port was changed to 8443, you would enter https://ipaddress:8443
- On the Welcome page, click Storage System View, and then click Restore from existing Cloud Manager.
- Enter the host name or IP address of your existing Cloud Manager host, enter your Cloud Manager user name and password, accept the EULA, and then click Restore.
Result
The new
Cloud Manager configuration accesses your previous
Cloud Manager configuration, generates a backup, and then imports the configuration.
