How do I enable main database backup file synchronization?
Purpose
Perform the procedure to enable the main servers in a redundant NFM-P system to synchronize the main database backup file sets. After a database backup, if database backup file synchronization is enabled, the NFM-P automatically copies the database backup file set to the standby database station.
Note: The procedure applies only to a redundant NFM-P system.
Note: Before you perform the procedure, you must ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth between the main database stations for a database copy operation. See the NSP NFM-P Planning Guide for information about the bandwidth requirements of database backup file synchronization.
Note: You must perform the procedure first on the standby main server station, and then on the primary main server station.
Steps
1 |
Log in to the main server station as the root user. |
2 |
Open a console window. |
3 |
Enter the following: # samconfig -m main ↵ The following is displayed: Start processing command line inputs... <main> |
4 |
Enter the following: <main> configure redundancy database backup-sync ↵ The prompt changes to <main configure redundancy database>. |
5 |
Enter the following: <main configure redundancy database> exit ↵ The prompt changes to <main>. |
6 |
Enter the following: <main> apply ↵ The configuration change is applied. |
7 |
Enter the following: <main> exit ↵ The samconfig utility closes. |
8 |
Enter the following to switch to the nsp user: # su - nsp ↵ |
9 |
Navigate to the /opt/nsp/nfmp/server/nms/bin directory. |
10 |
Enter the following: bash$ ./nmsserver.bash read_config ↵ The main server puts the configuration change into effect. The NFM-P automatically copies subsequent main database backup file sets from the primary database station to the standby database station. |
11 |
Close the console window. End of steps |
