Restoring data to the active NOAMP server

Caution:

This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not grant permission to the customer to enact these procedures. The database restore operation is a service affecting procedure and careful consideration needs to be taken before executing database restore. All restore procedures shall be performed by Oracle Communications or its authorized representatives using the product specific Disaster Recovery guide.

Restore allows you to select and re-apply previously stored data across all components. Restorations can only be performed from the active NOAMP server.

Note:

Restoration to any server other than the active NOAMP prevents proper provisioning and replication control within the network.

Restoration causes HA activity to switch from the targeted NOAMP server at the start to the mate of the target server, and back again on completion.

During restoration, the target server's database is stopped so that the database tables may be replaced with those contained in the Backup and Archive file. No alarms, events, measurements, or other stateful or collected data is archived by the target server for that time period. The target server begins recollecting that data once restoration is complete.

Restoration automatically enacts replication control on all application servers. This isolates the changes to the server being restored and allows the remainder of the network to operate without impact. Restoration automatically disables provisioning using the provisioning control subsystem. This stabilizes the database contents for the duration of the restoration procedure.

Several procedures are used during the restore process. The order in which they are performed varies depending on the number of servers and the setup of your system. Before data restoration can occur, the archived file being restored must be transferred to the file storage area. For more information, see Transferring a Local File to the File Management Storage Area.

The documentation that came with your application provides a detailed list of all steps to perform during a restore, as well as the order in which to perform them.
