Understanding Cloud Manager Backup and Restore

There are two methods for backing up and restoring Cloud Manager.

  1. Automated Backup and Restore Utility.

    See Using Automated Backup and Restore Utility.

  2. Back up and restore using Block Volume Backups for OCI.

    See Manually Backing Up and Restoring Cloud Manager Using Block Volume Backups for OCI

Important! If your Cloud Manager instance was created using a custom fqdn, the PRESERVE_HOSTINFO field must be set to 0 before doing CM backup. If this value is not set as 0, there is a chance that the Cloud Manager restore will fail as OCI will not be able to configure the new instance with new IP details in /etc/hosts file. See tutorial Install the PeopleSoft Cloud Manager Stack with Resource Manager.

Warning! Backing up or restoring Cloud Manager will shut down all services. Please ensure that no provisioning or lifecycle jobs are running. Any running jobs will be abruptly ended and may result in an unstable or unusable state.

Important! Ensure the process scheduler does not have any jobs in its queue. If there are pending jobs in the queue, those may get scheduled to run whenever a backup is restored.
