Upgrading a CPU does not require that a restore of the backed up files be performed unless a
problem is encountered. Any data contained in the MIBmap files and any configuration data in
the system configuration files will remain untouched through a software upgrade. The only
time that backup data needs to be recovered is when an upgrade has failed and the CPU is
being reverted to the previous version using the downgrade script. In this event, the downgrade
script will automatically attempt to restore the backup data at the end of the downgrade
process.
Alternatively, the backup/restore steps can be run manually, with the backup file being saved
to any location on any CPU connected to the network. The steps for doing this are as follows:
7.1 Backup
Telnet to the target hubmaster CPU, using operator/operate as the username/password
Run the backup script:
sudo backup-hubmaster operator@<target-IP>:/var <backupname>.tar
7.2 Restore
Again, note that a restore only needs to be performed if problems with the upgrade have been
encountered and the CPU is going to be downgraded.
Telnet to the target hubmaster CPU, using operator/operate as the username/password
Run the restore script:
sudo backup-hubmaster -r operator@<target-IP>:/var <backupname>.tar
Reboot by entering: sudo reboot
Note that the restore script is simply the backup script invoked with a "-r" switch. The "-r"
switch is identical to the switch "--restore".
7.3 Adding/Removing SNMP Traps
SNMP traps are sent automatically by the ADC system to all managers named “trap-sink” in
DNS.
To add an entry to DNS, use the nsupdate (sudo nsupdate) command on the hubmaster. The
application nsupdate will prompt for an input, (‘>’) at which point enter:
update add version-trap-sink.domain 3600 A address
Note that:
• version should be either “v1” or “v2”, depending on whether you want SNMP version 1
traps or version 2 notifications to be sent to the sink, respectively.
