Replacing Two Feature Storage Cards
To replace two feature storage cards with ACSLS, perform the following steps:
- Log in as user
acsss
and enter the following command to shut down the ACSLS application running on the feature card:acsss shutdown
- Physically remove the feature storage cards to be replaced.
- Insert the replacement feature storage cards into the same locations.
- Apply a new external label to the replacement feature storage cards. Include an appropriate name that reflects the changes made.
- Extract the feature card scripts as described in Installing ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card:
- Ensure network, host name, DNS, and other network-related settings are established.
The ACSLS recovery process maintains as many settings as possible. Verify bond3 network connectivity and ensure that your IP address, host name, and related items are correct using the
hostname
command,ping
command, and others as required. If you encounter issues, then review applicable steps as described in Installing ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card:See "Configuring the Feature Card and Preparing for ACSLS Installation".
Note:
If you need to change your IP address, host name, or other network-related information as part of this task for feature card replacement, you must redo these steps. - Verify that the feature storage cards are initialized as described in Installing ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card:
See "Step 5: Insert and Initialize All Feature Storage Cards".
- As user root, issue the following commands to remove remnants from the previous ACSLS installation:
rm -rf /opt/ACSLS/ACSLS_8.5.1 userdel acsss userdel acssa userdel acsdb userdel postgres yum remove ACSLS yum remove PostgreSQL
You may need to kill errant processes if they prohibit successful execution of yum removals. It is important that ACSLS and PostgreSQL are successfully removed.
- Extract the ACSLS software bundle as described in Installing ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card:
- Perform the steps described in Installing, Configuring, and Running ACSLS on the Feature Card.
- Restore the ACSLS database from the most recent backup or an accessible backup location:
- As user
acsss
, rundb_restore.sh
:su - acsss cd /bin ./db_restore.sh latest or ./db_restore.sh/bkupb/<DB_SNAPSHOT_FILENAME>
Substitute the specific file name of your backup for
latest
and<DB_SNAPSHOT_FILENAME>
.Redundant copies of recent backup files reside under
/bkupa
, /bkupb
or /bkupc
. If no ACSLS database backups are available to you locally, you may want to pull the latest database backup from your remote backup server. If you do not want to use an existing database backup, and would rather create a new one, then runaccss_config
instead. - Once you have restored the database or created a new database version, re-start ACSLS as user
acsss
:su – acsss
- As user
