4.1.5 Full Backup of DB Run Environment at Each Server

The procedures in this section are part of software upgrade preparation and are used to conduct a full backup of the run environment on each server, to be used in the event of a back out of the new software release. The backup procedure to be executed is dependent on the software release that is running on the active NOAM.

Note:

Do not perform this procedure until the ISO deployment is completed to all servers in the topology. Failure to complete the ISO may disrupt ISO deployment/undeployment in the event of a partial backout (for example, backout of one site).

Note:

If back out is needed, any configuration changes made after the DB is backed up at each server is lost.
