To Back Up the Provisioning Service on the Source OTP Host

Before You Begin

• The remote agent must be removed from the backup source OTP host as described in To Remove the Remote Agent from the Backup Source OTP Host

• The remote agent must be removed from the external OTP installation server as described in To Remove the Remote Agent from the External OTP installation server

1. Log in as root on the backup source OTP host you identified in To Remove the Remote Agent from the Backup Source OTP Host.

2. Disable the provisioning service resource in the resource group

   Type the following commands:

   /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -g otp-system-rg -y RG_system=FALSE /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j otp-spsms-rs

3. Backup the provisioning service database

   Type the following command:

   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 \ -o /var/tmp -nors -noconfig -nokeystore -z -shutdown yes

   The compressed backup tar file is created as /var/tmp/timestamp.tar.Z where timestamp is the system date and time stamp. For example, /var/tmp/070411145059.tar.Z

4. Enable the Provisioning service resource in the resource group.

   Type the following commands:

   /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -e -j otp-spsms-rs /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -g otp-system-rg -y RG_system=TRUE
