Restoring Sun OTP Services

You can restore the Sun OTP services only on the same host where they are backed up. Before the restore process, stop the Web Server from the cluster control. Once you complete the restore process, restart the Web Server.

To Restore Sun OTP Services

Perform this procedure only from the global zone even when Sun OTP security service is running in the non-global zone.

The backup tar file created by the backup plan determines the Sun OTP service to be restored. For example, if the backup tar file contains only the backup data for the Sun OTP application provisioning service, then only the Sun OTP application provisioning service is restored.

Before You Begin

In a clustered system, make sure that the Sun OTP service to be restored is running on the current Sun OTP host.

1. Log in as root (su - root) to the Sun OTP host.

2. To restore the Sun OTP services, type the following command:

   /opt/SUNWotp/cli/restore_otp -t tarfile -l logfile

   tarfile is the backup tar file created by the backup CLI.

   logfile is the name of the log file that contains the output of the restore operation.

   Sun OTP configuration data and Sun OTP high availability service is not restored.
