Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager 9-9
5620 SAM
System Administrator Guide
Figure 9-1 illustrates the activities of the 5620 SAM backup/restore process. The
labels correspond to events in the following sequence:
1 At the interval specified—every hour in this example—the 5620 SAM issues an
FTP or SCP request to all devices for a backup.
2 The devices use FTP or SCP to send the BOF and configuration files to the
5620 SAM server.
3 The 5620 SAM main server stores the received files.
4 An operator using a 5620 SAM client uses the Backup/Restore Status tab of the
Backup Policy form to view the backup status.
5 If the 5620 SAM system is a redundant configuration, the active server
synchronizes the backed-up information with the standby server.
6 A 5620 SAM operator uses the Backup/Restore form to perform on-demand and
scheduled device backups, restores, and configuration saves, as required.
7 A third-party application periodically sends a copy of the backup files from the
5620 SAM server to a remote storage facility for safekeeping.
9.2 Workflow to perform NE maintenance
1 For secure backups, restores and upgrades, verify that SSH2 is correctly
configured on the device and that the 5620 SAM mediation policy for the device is
configured for secure FTP or SCP.
2 Commission the managed devices using the CLI; see the 5620 SAM User Guide for
information.
3 Create a software upgrade policy to specify an on-demand, ISSU, or a scheduled
device software image upgrade; see Procedure 9-1.
4 Configure the 5620 SAM deployment policy to specify how and when the 5620 SAM
tries to send configuration changes from 5620 SAM clients to the managed devices.
See Procedure 9-2 for more information.
5 Use the 5620 SAM to configure device backup or restore policies. A device backup
policy specifies how often the 5620 SAM backs up the device configuration. See
Procedure 9-3 for more information.
6 As required, perform on-demand NE configuration saves, imports, exports,
backups, and restores of NE configuration files.
a Perform an on-demand device backup, restore, or configuration save; see
Procedure 9-4.
b Import a device backup file; see Procedure 9-5.
c Export a device backup file; see Procedure 9-6.
d Restore a backed up device configuration; see Procedure 9-7.
e Perform an OmniSwitch device backup; see Procedure 9-8.
f Restore an OmniSwitch device configuration backup; see Procedure 9-9.
