Restoring Horizon Connection Server Configuration Data

You can manually restore the Connection Server LDAP configuration files that were backed up by Horizon.

Before you restore configuration data, verify that you backed up the configuration data in Horizon Console. See Backing Up Horizon Connection Server Data.

You use the vdmimport utility to import the Connection Server data from the LDIF backup files to the Horizon LDAP repository in the Connection Server instance.

Note: In certain situations, you might have to install the current version of a Connection Server instance and restore the existing Horizon configuration by importing the Connection Server LDAP configuration files. You might require this procedure as part of a business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) plan, as a step in setting up a second datacenter with the existing Horizon configuration, or for other reasons. For more information, see the Horizon 8 Installation and Upgrade document.
