22.1 Backing Up Orchestration Components Prior to Upgrading

As with the installation of any software, it is always a wise precaution to back up a working copy of Cloud Manager components before you install the newer version of Cloud Manager Orchestration components.

To back up the old Orchestration components:

  1. Make a copy of the directories under the /var/opt/novell/zenworks/zos/ directory.

  2. Back up the /opt/novell/zenworks/zos/server/license/key.txt file.

When you want to use the older version of Cloud Manager Orchestration, stop any instance of the Orchestration Server or the Cloud Manager Monitoring server, copy the backup directory you made earlier to its original location, then start the server from this location. Follow this same procedure for the Orchestrate Agents.
