Policy Model Restoration
When a Policy Model is restored, copies the backup PMDB files into the specified directory. Everything that is in the original PMDB files is copied to the new PMDB directory, including:
capamsc141
When a Policy Model is restored,
Privileged Access Manager
copies the backup PMDB files into the specified directory. Everything that is in the original PMDB files is copied to the new PMDB directory, including:- Policy information
- The list of the Policy Model's subscribers
- Configuration settings
- registry entries
- The updates.dat file
If there is an existing PMBD in the destination directory,
Privileged Access Manager
deletes the existing files before copying the restoration files into that directory.
You cannot restore a PMDB from backup files that use another platform, operating system, or version of
Privileged Access Manager
. Ensure you back up the Policy Model to a host running the same platform, operating system, and version of Privileged Access Manager
.Restore a PMDB
When you restore a PMDB,
Privileged Access Manager
copies the data from the PMDB backup files into the directory you specify. Privileged Access Manager
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
For more information about the sepmd utility, see the
Reference Guide
. For more information about selang commands, see the selang Reference Guide
