To Restore Sun Management Center Data Using the Default Backup Directory

1. Log in as root on the Sun Management Center server machine.

2. Stop all Sun Management Center processes.

   Type the command /opt/SUNWsymon/es-stop -A and press Return.

3. Type the command /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-restore.

   If any Sun Management Center processes are still running, you are notified that Sun Management Center must be shut down.

   You are asked whether you want to proceed. Type y and press Return.

4. Specify the backup directory.

   You are prompted for the directory path to the backup files. The default location /var/opt/SUNWsymon/backup is displayed.

   • If you are restoring Sun Management Center data from the default backup directory /var/opt/SUNWsymon/backup, press Return.

   • If you are restoring Sun Management Center data from a different backup directory, type the name of the directory and press Return.

   All Sun Management Center processes are stopped. es-restore validates the backup data in the specified directory.

   • If the backup data is corrupted, you are informed, and es-restore exits to the system prompt.

     If you decide not to restore the Sun Management Center data from a different backup, and want to restart Sun Management Center, type /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -A and press Return.

   • If the backup data is valid, es-restore restores the database and configuration data from the specified directory.

     When the restore is completed, es-restore restarts all Sun Management Center processes.

   The es-restore log file is /var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/restore_host-name.date and time string.process-id where:

   • host-name is the name of the server you used to perform the restore

   • date and time string is the year, date, and time the restore was run

   • process-id is the process ID of the es-restore session
