Backing Up and Restoring the OTP System Management Service

This section provides the procedure for backing up and restoring the system management database and configuration files. Backup of the system management database and configuration files should be performed on a regular basis.

If the OTP host on which the OTP system management service is installed fails, you can restore the management services to any other standalone OTP host or clustered OTP host as described in this section.

Note –

Because the backup process does not back up the Solaris 10 Update 2 OS image and OS profile to conserve space in the backup file, you must either recreate the OS image and OS profile on the new OTP host, or manually backup and restore the OS image and OS profiles as described in theBacking Up and Restoring OS Images and OS Profiles

The following topics are discussed:

Backing Up The OTP System Management Service Database and Configuration Files

This section provides the procedure for backing up the system management database and configuration files.

ProcedureTo Back Up the OTP System Management Service Database and Configuration Files

This procedure describes how to back up the system management database and configuration files. The system management is restarted several times during this process. Therefore, perform these steps only when the system management service is not currently running jobs.

Do not change the configuration or OS usage of the standalone OTP host or of the clustered OTP hosts during the period between executing the backup and restore procedures.

Before You Begin

Choose a server that is external to the standalone OTP host or the clustered OTP hosts on which to save the backup files.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the OTP host on which the system management service is installed.

  2. Type /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1smbackup.sh to start the backup process.

    For example:


    # /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1smbackup.sh
This program will back up Sun N1SM on this Linux/SunOS machine.

The N1SM services will be restarted and N1SM will be interrupted during 
the process.

All files related to N1SM, including network interface 
configuration, will be backed up. Therefore, it is recommended 
that these files are restored to an identical hardware setup. 

Verify that N1SM does not have outstanding jobs before proceeding.

The backup process will take about 8 minutes.
