Backing Up and Restoring BSM Connector Configuration and Policies

When backing up BSM Connector, keep in mind the following recommendations:

BSM Connector Policies

The BSM Connector policies are stored in the following directory:

Linux: /var/opt/ov/datafiles/policymanagement/store

Windows: %OvDataDir%datafiles\policymanagement\store

Each policy consists of two files, a data file (*_data) and a header file (*_header.xml).

BSM Connector Backsync Script

The backsync functionality is implemented as a single Perl script, located in:

Linux: /var/opt/ov/conf/backsync/OMBackSync.pl

Windows: %OvDataDir%conf\backsync\OMBackSync.pl

Back up this script if you modified any settings in it.

BSM Connector Flexible Management Policy Template

BSM Connector contains an out-of-the-box template for creating an Event forwarding policy (the Flexible Management policy). If you made any customizations to this template file, create a backup of this file.

This template is used by the BSM Connector tool deploy-flexmgmt.[bat|sh] to create a policy eligible for event forwarding. The policy template consists of the following two files:

f6b8aff0-f467-4851-8407-5b60395648b4_data.template

f6b8aff0-f467-4851-8407-5b60395648b4_header.xml.template

The files are located in:

Linux: /var/opt/ov/conf/HPOprBSMC/

Windows: %OvDataDir%conf\HPOprBSMC
