sepmd Utility—Restore the PMDB

The sepmd restores a PMDB on a local host. The backup files you use to restore the PMDB must be from a host running the same platform, operating system, and version of CA ControlMinder as the restoration host. CA ControlMinder must be running on the restoration host.

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.

This command has the following format:

sepmd -restore pmd [-source path] [-admins user[,user...]]\
[-xadmins user[,user...]] [-parent_pmd name[,name...]]
-restore

Restores the PMDB on the localhost.

-admins user[,user...]

(UNIX) Defines internal users as administrators of the restored PMDB.

-parent_pmd name[,name...]

(Optional) Defines the name of the restored PMDB's parent PMDBs. Specify the parent PMDB name in the format pmdb@host.

pmd

Defines the name of the PMDB to restore.

-source(path)

(Optional) Defines the directory where the backup files are located. If you do not specify the source directory, the PMDB is restored from the files in the default location. The default location is defined in the _pmd_backup_directory_ token.

Default: (UNIX) ACInstallDir/data/policies_backup/pmdName

Default: (Windows) ACInstallDir\data\policies_backup\pmdName

-xadmins user[,user...]

(UNIX) Defines enterprise users as administrators of the restored PMDB.
