When you import a repository, the WMC deletes all existing
projects, project configurations, and job history. The virtual appliance
system logs remain unaffected. Once you have imported a repository,
you cannot roll back to a previous repository.
Before you begin
You must stop and undeploy all project configurations on the WMC before you can import a
repository. When the WMC successfully imports a repository, all project configurations are in an
undeployed state.
Note: Before you import a repository from one virtual appliance to another, you
must power off the virtual appliance from which you are importing a
repository.
About this task
In the steps that follow, you undeploy all projects, then
use the WMC to import a virtual appliance repository:
Procedure
- From the Deploy tab, select Projects. All project configurations are displayed.
- Verify that all the project configurations are undeployed.
- If any project is not in the undeployed state, click the
project configuration link, then stop and undeploy the project configuration.
