Restore a CA EEM Server for Use with CA Enterprise Log Manager

You can restore a CA Enterprise Log Manager application instance to a management server. Restoring the management server's CA EEM functionality involves running the safex utility which imports the backed up application instance.

To restore a management server's CA EEM functionality from a backup

  1. Install the CA Enterprise Log Manager soft appliance on a new hardware server.
  2. Access a command prompt and navigate to the directory, /opt/CA/LogManager/EEM.
  3. Copy the backup file, <AppinstanceName>.xml.gz, to this directory from your external backup server.
  4. Run the following command to retrieve the XML export file: 
    gunzip <AppinstanceName>.xml.gz
  5. Execute the following command to restore the export file to the new management server 
    ./safex -h eemserverhostname -u EiamAdmin -p password -f AppinstanceName.xml

    If you are running in FIPS mode, be sure to include the -fips option.

  6. Navigate to the directory, /opt/CA/ELMAgent/bin.
  7. Replace the default AgentCert.cer file with the backed-up file, CAELM_AgentCert.cer to ensure proper agent startup.
