Copying All Downloaded Files After Switchover

If switchover is initiated and completed after all the files you need have been downloaded from the NPAC but before you have imported them into the LSMS database, perform the following procedure.

  1. If switchover is initiated between the time all the files have been downloaded from the NPAC and the time they are to be imported into the LSMS, wait until the following notification has been reported:

    LSMS4001|14:58 Oct 22, 2005|xxxxxxx|Notify:Sys Admin - Switchover complete
    

  2. Log into the non-active server as lsmsadm.
  3. Navigate to the directory where files have been downloaded:

    $ cd /var/TKLC/lsms/free/data/npacftp/<region>

    Where <region> is the name of the NPAC region for which files are being downloaded.

  4. Verify that the correct directory was accessed by entering the following command:

    $ pwd

    The correct output is:

    /var/TKLC/lsms/free/data/npacftp/<region>
    

  5. Use the secure file transfer protocol (sftp) to move the files from the previously active server into the /var/TKLC/lsms/free/data/npacftp/<region> directory on the newly active server:

    $ sftp lsmsadm@mate

    When prompted, enter the lsmsadm password. Then the sftp> prompt will appear; enter the following commands at the prompt:

    sftp> cd /var/TKLC/lsms/free/data/npacftp/<region>

    sftp> mput *

    sftp> bye

  6. Proceed with the step you were performing when you were directed to this procedure.
