2. Export the network element configurations.
   1. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Networking and click Networks.
   2. Select the required NOAM Network Element for configuration.
   3. Click Export and save the configuration.

   3. Click Insert.
   4. On Insert page, update the following server details:
      • Enter the standby NOAM hostname
      • Role as Network OAM&P
      • Hardware Profile as SDS Cloud guest
      • Select the Noam Network element name
      • Configure XMI and IMI IP's and NTP server IP
   5. Click Ok.
6. Export and run TKLCConfigData.sh file on vSDS 9.0.1 NOAM.
   1. Log in to NOAM vSDS 9.0.X GUI using XMI IP.
   2. Navigate to Configuration from Main Menu, then select Servers.
   3. Select the required NOAM server, which was added in the previous step.
   4. Click Export, to export server configuration file to the file management folder on the NOAM.
   5. Perform ssh to XMI IP of the newly created vSDS 9.0.X VM.
   6. Run the cd $FILE_MGMT_AREA/ command to access the file management area.
   7. Copy the TKLCConfigData.sh file to /var/tmp folder, by running the following command:

      cp TKLCConfigData.<hostname>.sh /var/tmp/TKLCConfigData.sh

   8. Verify the /var/TKLC/appw/logs/Process/install.log log file for successfully running of TKLCCOnfigData.sh file. You can run following command to check logs.

      sudo tail -f /var/TKLC/appw/logs/Process/install.log

      Output:

      + sed -i s/WALLET_KEY_TO_BE_REPLACED_DURING_SERVER_EXPORT/bc332acff044aa6bcc7871c0742b0b89abd658efc23549acc70d857279a1ee3bb31e04f2e85fcc50fe2fad0c6aa69d3596ecb68f84983b44d7805d98a994ad96/g /usr/TKLC/appworks/prod/maint/loaders/install/postInstall/load.AppworksSecConfig

   9. Use following command to update the /etc/resolv.conf file:

      sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

   10. Add IMI IP of the Active 8.6.X SDS NOAM at the end of file. Select Save and then click Close.
       Sample /etc/resolv.conf file:

       [admusr@901noam00 ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
       domain platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com
       nameserver 127.0.0.1
       nameserver 192.168.0.20     ; IMI IP of NOAM

7. Copy the /var/named/db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com from Active NOAM to Standby NOAM, by running the following commands on SDS 9.0.1 VM.

   cd $FILE_MGMT_AREA/

   sudo ssh admusr@<XMI ip of Active 8.6.X SDS NOAM> "sudo cat /var/named/db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com " > db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com

   sudo mv db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com /var/named/

   sudo chown root:named /var/named/db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com

   sudo chmod 640 /var/named/db.platform.cgbu.us.oracle.com

8. Wait for 10 minutes for server to configure with the IP configuration, then reboot the VM using sudo init 6 command on CLI.
