Recover the Database If an Update Fails

If the upgrade process fails before the avsMigrateSource --migrateAgent step is run, you can restore the source Audit Vault Server (AVS) to its original state and bring it back online. This recovery process allows you to quickly resume normal operations using the source AVS.

To restore the source AVS:

1. Log in to the source Audit Vault Server through SSH and switch to the root user.

2. Run the following command:

   /usr/local/dbfw/migrate_20x/avsMigrateSource --restore

   This command restores the source AVS to its pre-upgrade state.

This procedure is only applicable if the failure occurs before or during the agent migration step (avsMigrateSource --migrateAgent). Once avsMigrateSource --migrateAgent has been successfully run, you can no longer run the restore command.

After the restore operation completes, verify that the source AVS is functioning correctly before resuming audit collection activities.
