Procedure 7-10 To perform an immediate 5620 SAM database
backup using the GUI
Perform this procedure to initiate an on-demand 5620 SAM database backup using the
client GUI. You can perform a full backup, which includes the entire database, or a
partial backup, which excludes accounting statistics data.
Caution — Configuring the parameter can affect 5620 SAM system
performance. Consult Alcatel-Lucent technical support before you
configure the parameter.
Caution 1 — Ensure that there is sufficient disk space to store the
database backup file set. The backup directory must be at least five
times as large as the expected database backup size. For more
information, contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support, or see the
5620 SAM Planning Guide.
Caution 2 — The Oracle management user requires read and write
permissions on the backup directory that you specify.
Caution 3 — When you back up a 5620 SAM database, you must specify
a backup directory path that does not include the 5620 SAM database
installation directory, or data loss may occur. The typical 5620 SAM
database installation directory is /opt/5620sam/samdb.
