15.8 Restoring and reinstantiating a 5620 SAM database
You can restore a 5620 SAM database using a backup copy.
In a redundant 5620 SAM system, you must perform one or both of the following to
regain 5620 SAM database function and redundancy, depending on the failure type.
• Restore the primary 5620 SAM database.
• Reinstantiate the standby 5620 SAM database.
Both operations are required after a primary database failure. After a standby
database failure, no restore operation is required, but you must reinstantiate the
primary database on the standby database station to restore redundancy. You can use
the 5620 SAM client GUI or a CLI script to reinstantiate a database.
See Procedure 15-21 for information about restoring a standalone 5620 SAM
database. See Procedure 15-22 for information about restoring a redundant
5620 SAM database. See Procedures 15-23 and 15-24 for information about
reinstantiating a primary 5620 SAM database on a standby database station.
Caution — A 5620 SAM database restore requires a shutdown of
each 5620 SAM database and main server in the 5620 SAM system,
which causes a network management outage.
You must perform a database restore only during a scheduled
maintenance period, and contact Alcatel-Lucent technical support
before you attempt to restore a 5620 SAM database.
Note 1 — In a redundant 5620 SAM system, you can restore a
5620 SAM database backup only on a primary database station. To
restore a database backup on a station other than the primary station,
you must do the following on the station before you attempt the
restore:
• Uninstall the 5620 SAM database, if it is installed.
• Install a primary database on the station.
Note 2 — In a redundant 5620 SAM system, you can reinstantiate a
database only on a standby database station. To reinstantiate a
database on a station other than the standby station, you must do the
following on the station before you attempt the reinstantiation:
• Uninstall the 5620 SAM database, if it is installed.
• Install a standby database on the station.
