Restore a PMDB

When you restore a PMDB, CA ControlMinder copies the data from the PMDB backup files into the directory you specify. CA ControlMinder must be running on the terminal you do the restoration on.

Note: If you back up and restore the PMDB on different terminals, the PMDB does not automatically update the terminal resource in the restored PMDB database. You must add the new terminal resource to the restored PMDB. To add the new terminal resource, stop the restored PMDB, run the selang -p pmdb command, then start the restored PMDB.

To restore a PMDB, run one of the following on the terminal that you want to restore the PMDB on:

• sepmd -restore utility
• selang restore pmd command

Note: For more information about the sepmd utility, see the Reference Guide. For more information about selang commands, see the selang Reference Guide.
