Registry settings

Some functions in IONESPM and PME are controlled by settings that are stored in the Windows registry. Most of these settings – also called registry keys – are part of the default system install and do not need to be transferred. However, some registry keys might have been added after the install and transferred to the new system.

The most common custom registry keys are for:

  • Specifying a custom network diagram (instead of using the default network diagram) to be used in the Diagrams (WebReach) part of the Web Applications.
  • Enabling linking of custom device types (for example, those created with the MDI) to default diagrams in ION Vista.

This topic outlines how to:

  • Export the entire set of IONESPMPME registry keys to a text file as a backup in case this information is needed in the future.
  • Locate for specific keys that are commonly added and that will have to be recreated on the new system.

To copy the custom registry settings:

  1. Start the Windows Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to the default location for ION EnterpriseStruxureWare Power MonitoringPower Monitoring Expert
