  4. Type y to specify the provisioning network interface.

    Note –

    Even if the provisioning interface shown matches the current provisioning interface, type y to rebind the provisioning interface IP addresst of the new system management host.

    The available interfaces are listed. You are asked to specify the provisioning network interface port.

  5. Type the interface name that is to be used for the provisioning interface.

    Type the interface name that is to be used for the provisioning interface, for example ce0, eth0, hme0, bge0 and so on depending on the host architecture and installed OS.

    You are asked if you want the DHCP server to use a specific IP address range.

  6. Type n to disable DHCP IP address range use.

    You are asked if you want to modify the interface that is to be used by the management network.

  7. Type y to specify for the management network interface.

    Note –

    Even if the provisioning interface shown matches the current provisioning interface, type y to rebind the management interface IP addresst of the new system management host.

    A description of the management network appears, followed by a list of the network interfaces that have been detected. You are then prompted to specify the interface that is to be used by the management network.

  8. Type the interface name that is to be used for the management interface.

    Type the interface name that is to be used for the management interface, for example ce0, eth0, hme0, bge0 and so on depending on the host architecture and installed OS.

    You are asked whether you want to configure the DNS name servers and search list entry.

  9. Type n.

    The OTP system management restore process will restore the OTP DNS and search list configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to configure the SMTP server for event notification.

  10. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SMTP configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to modify the logging configuration.

  11. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the logging configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to enable auto-login for the ILOM Web GUI.

  12. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the auto—login configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to enable SSHv1 protocol.

  13. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SSHv1 configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to modify SSH policies for changed and unknown host keys.

  14. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SSH configuration data.

    The current status of the ALOM email server is displayed. You are asked whether you want to modify the ALOM email server.

  15. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the ALOM email configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to add, delete, or modify the WindowsTM RIS server.

  16. Type n.

    This release of the Open Telecommunications Platform does not support Windows.

    A description of OS Discovery appears. You are asked whether you want to enable OS discovery.

  17. Type n.

    The Open Telecommunications Platform requires IP address-based discovery.

    You are asked whether you want to modify the default password on the execution server.

  18. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the execution server password.

    The configuration process then displays the settings you have specified, and asks whether you want to apply the settings.

  19. Review the proposed settings.

    • Type y to apply the settings.

      The settings are applied, and the OTP system management service is restarted.

    • Type n if the settings are not correct.

      You are notified that you must reconfigure and apply settings for the system managementservice to work properly. The configuration process then exits to the system prompt. To configure the system management service, run the n1smconfig command again.

Next Steps

Restore the system management database and files to the OTP host as described in the next procedure.

ProcedureTo Restore the OTP System Management Service to Another OTP Host

This procedure describes how to restore the OTP system management service on another OTP host within the clustered OTP system.

Before You Begin

  1. Log in as root on the target OTP host.

  2. Type mkdir -p /var/tmp/n1smbackup.

  3. Copy the n1smbackup.tgz backup file you created in To Back Up the OTP System Management Service Database and Configuration Files to the /var/tmp/n1smbackup directory.

  4. Type /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1smrestore.sh -f /var/tmp/n1smbackup/n1smbackup.tgz to restore the system management database and files.

    For example:


    # /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1smrestore.sh -f /var/tmp/n1smbackup/n1smbackup.tgz

This program will restore Sun N1SM from backup files.

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 restored. Therefore, it is recommended 
that these files are restored to an identical hardware setup. 

The restore process will take about 8 minutes.

N1SM restarted.
N1SM restore completed.Run n1smconfig and verify that N1SM settings are correct.

  5. Type n1smconfig to reconfigure the system management services.

    The current configuration is displayed, and you are asked whether you want to continue.

    Type y to continue. Reconfigure the system management as described in To Configure the OTP System Management Service on Another OTP Host.

  6. Verify that the OTP System Management Service is working properly.

    1. Open a web browser and log in to the system management service on the OTP host.

      Go to URL https://OTP host:6789 where OTP host is either the IP address or the fully qualified name of the OTP host.

      The Java Web console log in page is appears. Type your system management user name and password to log in.

      The system management page appears.

    2. Type /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1sh to open the OTP command shell. For example:


      # /opt/sun/n1gc/bin/n1sh
N1-ok>

    Successful display of the system management web page and of the N1–ok> prompt signifies successful configuration and restoration of the system management service to the OTP host.

    If the system management Web page or the N1–ok> prompt fail to appear, log in as root to the OTP host and type the command svcadm disable n1sm. Wait for the services to stop, and then type the command svcadm enable n1sm. Wait for the services to complete startup, and then retry verification.

  7. (Optional) Remove any OS distributions or OS profiles that exist on the OTP host before creating new OS distributions and OS profiles.
