Maintaining OVO
Downloading Configuration Data
You should download configuration data as part of your standard
maintenance or backup routine. Also, before you significantly change
your OVO configuration, you should download configuration data or back
up your configuration data. To back up your configuration, see “Backing
up Data on the Management Server” on page 524.
Methods for Downloading Configuration Data
You can download configuration data in one of two ways:
❏ Administrator GUI
See Figure 13-1 on page 522.
❏ Command Line
Use the opccfgdwn(1M) command.
Both methods enable you to select the parts of the configuration that you
want to download. For example, instead of downloading the entire
configuration, you may choose to download only the templates.
Parts of the Configuration to be Downloaded
The different parts of the configuration to be downloaded are specified in
the following file:
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/cfgdwn/download.dsf
This specification file is required as a parameter by the opccfgdwn(1M)
command.
