Backing Up and Restoring the OTP Provisioning Service Database and Configuration Files

This section provides the procedure for backing up and restoring the provisioning service database and configuration files. Backup of the provisioning service database and configuration files should be performed on a regular basis. Situations that could warrant provisioning service restoration of the service after applying system patches or performing a JumpStart installation.

The following topics are discussed:

Backing Up and Restoring the OTP Provisioning Service on the External OTP Installation Server

This section provides the procedures for backing up and restoring the OTP provisioning service on the external OTP installation server

The following topics are discussed:

To Back Up the Provisioning Service on the External OTP Installation Server

Type the following command to back up the provisioning service.

Tip –

copy and paste the following command to the terminal window.

su - spsotp \
/var/otp/spsotp/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2/server/bin/cr_backup.sh \
-b /var/otp/spsotp/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2 \
-l /var/tmp/backup.log \
-o /var/tmp -nors -noconfig -nokeystore  -z -shutdown yes

The compressed backup tar file and the backup log file are created in the directory /var/tmp/. For example, /var/tmp/backup_log.070411145059 and /var/tmp/070411145059.tar.Z where 070411145059 is the system date and time stamp.

To Restore the Provisioning Service on the External OTP Installation Server

Before You Begin

The provisioning service on the external OTP installation server must be backed up as described in To Back Up the Provisioning Service on the External OTP Installation Server

Type the following command to back up the provisioning service.

su - spsotp \
/var/otp/spsotp/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2/server/bin/cr_restore.sh \
-b /var/otp/spsotp/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_5.2 \
-f /var/tmp/backup tar file name \
-l /var/tmp/log_file_name \
-t /var/tmp -shutdown yes -nors -noconfig -nokeystore -overwrite yes

where backup tar file name is the name of the backup tar file created in To Back Up the Provisioning Service on the External OTP Installation Server, and log file name is the name you specify for the log file. The system date and time stamp is automatically appended to the log file name you specify. For example, /var/tmp/restore_log.070411145059
