Copying the Database from the Active to the Standby Fixed Disk

This procedure copies everything on the active fixed disk to the standby fixed disk using the copy-disk command. Figure 2-10 shows the action of the copy-disk command.

Figure 2-10 Action of the Copy Disk Procedure

The copy-disk command uses these parameters.

:sloc – the card location of the active fixed disk

:dloc – the card location of the standby fixed disk

:force – does the standby fixed disk contain system data? This parameter provides some protection against data loss from copying over a fixed disk containing system data. If the standby fixed disk contains system data, you must specify the force=yes parameter. The default value for this parameter is no.

:format – is the standby fixed disk to be formatted before the data from the active fixed disk is copied to the standby fixed disk? The default value for this parameter is yes, the standby fixed disk will be formatted before copying.

Specify the format=no parameter with the copy-disk command to copy to the standby fixed disk without formatting the standby fixed disk. The standby fixed disk must be properly formatted to specify the format=no parameter. If the standby fixed disk is not properly formatted and the format=no parameter is specified, the copy-disk command will be rejected with this message.

E2819 Cmd Rej: Destination disk is unformatted

Note:

The performance time required to copy a fixed disk to another fixed disk varies depending on database size and system activity. This operation should typically take no longer than 2.5 hours. If you are not performing the low-level format (format=no), the operation should take no longer than 1 hour. If the copy-disk operation exceeds 3 hours, contact My Oracle Support for assistance. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. If the copy-disk operation without the low-level format exceeds 1.5 hours, contact My Oracle Support.

The databases in the current (FD CRNT) and the backup (FD BKUP) partitions of the active MASP must be coherent. For more information on verifying the database, refer to the Verifying the Database section. Measurements must be inhibited.

The standby fixed disk cannot be formatted if the security log on the standby fixed disk contains any entries that have not been copied to the FTA area of the fixed disk. This can be verified with the rept-stat-seculog command. If the security log on the standby fixed disk contains entries that have not been copied to the file transfer area of the fixed disk, copy these entries to the file transfer area using the copy-seculog command.

The copy-disk command can be executed if the status of the security log on the standby fixed disk cannot be determined. This allows the copy-disk command to format and initialize a previously un-initialized fixed disk. An un-initialized fixed disk does not contain a security log.

Caution:

To prevent any potential database corruption when performing this procedure, the SEAS terminals must be placed out of service with the rmv-trm command before executing the copy-disk command.

1. Verify that the databases in the current (FDCRNT) and the backup (FDBKUP) partitions of the active MASP are coherent using the rept-stat-dbcommand.

   This is an example of the possible output.

2. Verify whether or nor the Measurements Platform option is enabled (PLATFORMENABLE = on) using the rtrv-measopts command.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 16:02:05 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   PLATFORMENABLE   = on
   COLLECT15MIN     = off
   CLLIBASEDNAME    = off
   ----------------------
   SYSTOTSTP        = off
   SYSTOTTT         = off
   

   Note:

   The rtrv-measopts command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-measopts command, see the rtrv-measopts command description in Commands User's Guide.
   • If the Measurements Platform is enabled, continue the procedure with 5.
   • If the Measurements Platform is not enabled, continue the procedure with 3.
3. Verify that measurement collection is on or off using the rtrv-meas-sched command.

   This is an example of the possible output. The COLLECT field shows whether measurement collection is on or off. In this example, measurement collection is on.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 12:22:55 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0 
   COLLECT        =  on
   GTWYLSFLTR     =  both
   ---------------------
   SYSTOT-STP     =  off
   SYSTOT-TT      =  off
   SYSTOT-STPLAN  =  on
   COMP-LNKSET    =  off
   COMP-LINK      =  on
   GTWY-STP       =  on
   GTWY-LNKSET    =  on
   MTCD-STP       =  on
   MTCD-LINK      =  on
   MTCD-STPLAN    =  on
   MTCD-LNKSET    =  on
   

   • If measurement collection is off, continue the procedure with 5.
   • If measurement collection is on, continue the procedure with 4.
4. Inhibit all measurements using the chg-meas:collect=off command.

   Caution:

   Measurement collection must be turned off or the copy-disk command cannot be executed. The chg-meas:collect=on command should not be executed while the copy-disk command is in progress. If possible, do not turn off measurement collection at midnight since doing so can cause the loss of an entire day of measurements. For the period of time that measurement collection is turned off, those measurements will be lost.

   This message should appear.

5. Verify that the security log on the standby MASP contains no entries that must be copied to the FTA area of the fixed disk with the rept-stat-seculog command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:59:06 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0

   If the number shown in the ENTRIES field for the standby MASP (shown with the entry Standby in the ROLE field) is 0, continue the procedure with 7.

   If the number shown in the ENTRIES field for the standby MASP is greater than 0, these entries must be copied to the FTA area of the fixed disk. To copy these entries, continue the procedure with 6.

6. Copy the security log entries on the standby MASP to the FTA area on the fixed disk with the copy-seculog command.

   For this example, enter the copy-seculog:slog=stb command. This is an example of the message that should appear.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 15:59:06 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0

7. Display the terminal configuration in the database with the rtrv-trm command.

   The SEAS terminals are shown in the output with the entry SEAS in the TYPE field. This is an example of the possible output. In this example, the SEAS terminals are terminals 18 and 27. If no SEAS terminals are shown in the rtrv-trm command output, continue the procedure with 10.

   Note:

   The rtrv-trm command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-trm command, see the rtrv-trm command description in Commands User's Guide.

   If SEAS terminals are not shown in the rtrv-trm output, continue the procedure with 10.

   If SEAS terminals are shown in the rtrv-trm output, continue the procedure with 8.

8. Display the status of the SEAS terminals with the rept-stat-trm command with the terminal number of the SEAS terminals.

   For this example, enter these commands.

   rept-stat-trm:trm=18

   This is an example of the possible output.

   Command Completed.
   

9. Place the SEAS terminals out of service using the rmv-trm command with the number of the terminal displayed in 8 whose state is not OOS-MT-DSBLD.

   The force=yes parameter must be used when placing the last SEAS terminal out of service.

   For this example, enter these commands.

   rmv-trm:trm=18

   rmv-trm:trm=27:force=yes

   If the status of the SEAS terminals shown in the PST field in 8 is OOS-MT-DSBLD (out-of-service maintenance disabled), the terminal is already out of service and the rmv-trm command does not need to be executed for that terminal.

   This message should appear when each of these commands have successfully completed.

10. Enter the copy-disk command along with the card location of the standby E5-TDM (shown by the indicator STDBY in the rept-stat-db command output in 1) that the data is being copied to.

    If the standby fixed disk contains system data, the force=yes parameter must be specified with the copy-disk command. If you do not wish to format the standby fixed disk before copying, specify the format=no parameter with the copy-disk command.

    For this example, enter this command.

    copy-disk:dloc=1114:sloc=1116:force=yes:format=yes

    In this example, the standby fixed disk contains EAGLE data and will be formatted before any data is copied to the standby fixed disk.

    Note:

    The performance time required to copy a fixed disk to another fixed disk varies depending on database size and system activity. This operation should typically take no longer than 2.5 hours. If you are not performing the low-level format (format=no), the operation should take no longer than 1 hour. If the copy-disk operation exceeds 3 hours, contact My Oracle Support for assistance. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information. If the copy-disk operation without the low-level format exceeds 1.5 hours, contact My Oracle Support.

    warning:

    Failure of the copy-disk command may result in corrupted E5-TDMs. If you experience a copy-disk command failure, contact the My Oracle Support for assistance. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information.

    When the command has been executed and completed, these messages should appear.
