The following topics describe additional QPM administration features:
You can back up all the QPM data on the QPM server. In the event of data loss, you can retrieve the data that has been backed up.
The following topics describe backing up and retrieving data:
 |
Note Backing up is not the same as saving a version of an individual deployment group. To save a version of an individual deployment group, see "Deploying QoS Policies." |
You can create the following types of backups to save QPM information on the QPM server:
You can make a full or incremental backup at any time. You can also create schedules for incremental backups.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup.
If the Backup/Retrieve Backup application is already open, select Create Backups in the Backup/Retrieve Backup navigation TOC.
The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 To make an immediate backup, select the Backup Now check box.
Step 3 To create a schedule of incremental backups:
a. Select the Schedule Incremental Backup check box.
b. Enter the date and time of the first scheduled backup.
c. Choose the frequency of the backups—once, daily, or weekly.
See Create Backup Page for more information about the fields in this page.
Step 4 Click Submit.
If you selected to make an immediate backup, the backup process starts, and the corresponding Retrieve Backup page appears.
If you created a backup schedule, you can view the next scheduled backup in the Scheduled Backups page. See Viewing and Deleting Backup Schedules.
|
Note You can create multiple backup schedules. You must click Submit to save each schedule. |
You can view the status and other details of full and incremental backups.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 To view the full backup history, select Retrieve Full Backup in the TOC in the left pane. The Retrieve Backup page appears displaying a list of full backups. From this page you can also retrieve and delete full backups. See Retrieve Full Backup Page for information about this page.
Step 3 To view the incremental backup history, select Retrieve Incremental Backup in the TOC in the left pane. The Retrieve Incremental Backup page appears displaying a list of incremental backups. From this page you can also retrieve and delete all incremental backups. See Retrieve Incremental Backup Page for information about this page.
You can retrieve the data from a full backup, or from the incremental backups. The retrieved data overwrites current QPM data on the QPM server.
 |
Warning You should use the QPM Retrieve feature with care. |
The following topics describe retrieving full and incremental backups:
You can retrieve a full backup at any time. Each full backup file is identified by the backup date and time.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Retrieve Full Backup. The Retrieve Full Backup page appears displaying a list of full backups.
Step 3 Select the backup you want to retrieve.
Step 4 Click Retrieve Backup. The Retrieved Backup History page appears displaying the status and other details of the retrieved backup.
Step 5 Log out of QPM and the CiscoWorks2000 desktop, and restart the QPM server.
|
Note After you retrieve a full backup, you must delete all previous incremental backups before you can make incremental backups for the retrieved database. See Deleting Incremental Backups for more information. |
When you retrieve data from incremental backups, all the incremental backup files up to and including the selected backup are used to recreate the QPM database.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Retrieve Incremental Backup. The Retrieve Incremental Backup page appears displaying a list of incremental backups.
Step 3 Select the backup you want to retrieve.
Step 4 Click Retrieve Backup. The Retrieved Backup History page appears displaying the status and other details of the retrieved backup.
Step 5 Log out of QPM and the CiscoWorks2000 desktop, and restart the QPM server.
|
Note After you retrieve from an incremental backup that is not the latest, you must delete all previous incremental backups before you can create incremental backups for the retrieved database. See Deleting Incremental Backups for more information. |
You can view the status and other details of retrieved backups.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Retrieved Backup History. The Retrieved Backup History page appears displaying a list of retrieved backups. See Retrieved Backup History Page for more information about this page.
Step 3 To delete a row from the table, select the row, and click Delete.
The following topics describe deleting full and incremental backups:
You can delete a full backup at any time. Each full backup file is identified by the backup date and time.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Retrieve Full Backup. The Retrieve Full Backup page appears displaying a list of full backups.
Step 3 Select the backup you want to delete.
Step 4 Click Delete. A warning appears. Click OK to continue.
You can delete all the incremental backups on the QPM server, but you cannot delete individual incremental backups. This is because when you retrieve incremental backups, all the previous incremental backup files are used to recreate the QPM database.
|
Note You must delete all incremental backups after you retrieve a full backup, or an incremental backup that is not the latest backup, before you can make incremental backups for the retrieved database. |
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Retrieve Incremental Backup. The Retrieve Incremental Backup page appears displaying a list of incremental backups.
Step 3 To delete all incremental backups, click Delete All. A warning appears. Click OK to continue.
You can view details of the next incremental backup for each schedule you have defined, and you can delete an entire backup schedule.
Step 1 Select Admin > Backup/Retrieve Backup. The Create Backup page appears.
Step 2 In the TOC in the left pane, select Scheduled Backups. The Scheduled Backups page appears displaying a list of the next scheduled backup for each backup schedule. See Scheduled Backups Page for more information about this page.
Step 3 To delete an entire schedule (not just the next backup), select the backup that belongs to the schedule you want to delete, and click Delete Schedule.
 |
Tip To modify the time or frequency of a schedule, delete the schedule and create a new schedule. |
The QPM audit feature provides audit logs about changes made to QPM deployment groups, global libraries, and device information:
You can view the following audit logs:
The logs provide links to view the items that have been modified.
Step 1 Select Admin > Audit. The Audit Trail Policy Groups/Policies page appears.
Step 2 Select the type of logs you want to view in the TOC.
Step 3 For policy groups and deployment groups logs, select the deployment group for which you want to view information.
See the following topics for more information about the fields in these pages:
You can delete old audit logs that you no longer need.
Step 1 Select Admin > Audit. The Audit Trail Policy Groups/Policies page appears.
Step 2 Select the type of logs you want to delete in the TOC.
Step 3 For policy groups and deployment groups logs, select the deployment group for which you want to delete logs. The logs for the selected deployment group are displayed.
Step 4 Click Clear. A Calendar dialog box opens.
Step 5 Use the navigation arrows above the calendar table to navigate through the calendar. In the calendar table, choose the date to which you want to delete logs.
Step 6 Click OK. The audit logs before and including the selected date are deleted, and no longer appear in the Audit display.
You can import policies from a QPM 2.1.x export file. The QPM 2.1.x export file contains policy database information in XML format.
QPM creates new policy groups containing the imported policies and QoS properties. The policies are imported into policy groups, according to the network elements on which they were configured. If the network elements on which the policies were originally defined, exist in the QPM device inventory, you can assign them to the policy groups.
QPM does not assign network elements to existing devices in the following cases:
|
Note If an interface is a member of an imported QPM 2.1.x device group, and also has its own policies, network element assignments are made only for the QPM 2.1.x device group policies. |
The following changes are made to imported policies:
The following policies are not imported:
Step 1 Select Admin > Import Policy Groups. The Import Policy Groups From 2.1 page appears.
Step 2 Select the deployment group to which you want to import the policies.
Step 3 In the Import file path field, enter the name and location of the QPM2.1.x XML file you want to import, or click the Browse button to select the file.
Step 4 Click OK.
The Import Policy Groups - Device Selection page appears displaying a list of the devices in the QPM device inventory. By default, all devices are selected.
For more information about this page, see Import Policy Groups - Device Selection Page.
Step 5 Clear the check boxes by those devices you do not want to assign to imported policy groups. Click Import Policies.
A dialog box appears informing you that the import process has started.
Step 6 In the dialog box, do one of the following:
|
Note To view a report later, select Reports > Import Policy Groups to display the Import Policy Groups Reports page. |
|
Note If you are working with multiple ACS device groups, you should repeat this procedure for each device group in your QPM 3 system. |
QPM uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to query network devices, and discover device information.
You can change the following SNMP properties, if you have the appropriate privileges:
Step 1 Select Admin > SNMP. The SNMP Properties page appears.
Step 2 Change SNMP parameters as required. See SNMP Parameter/Properties Page for more information about the fields in this page.
