Procedure 8-9 To restore a configuration backup on an OmniSwitch
1 On the Equipment tree, expand the OmniSwitch icon, right-click on an OmniSwitch
shelf object, and choose Properties. The Shelf (Edit) form opens.
2 Click on the Software Control Module tab and set the Command to Apply
parameter to Reload.
3 If required, configure the Delayed Activation Timer and Redundancy Time
(seconds) parameters.
4 Configure the Image Files Directory parameter.
5 Save your changes and close the form.
6 Choose Administration→NE Maintenance→Backup/Restore from the 5620 SAM
main menu. The BackupRestore form opens with a list of the default
backup/restore policies.
7 Perform one of the following:
a To use the default AOS backup/restore policy for the backup without
modifications, go to step 8.
b To use the default AOS backup/restore policy for the backup with
modifications, choose a policy and click Properties. Modify the policy as
required. Go to step 8.
c To create a backup/restore policy, click Create. See Procedure 8-3 for
information about creating a backup/restore policy.
8 Click on the Backup/Restore Status tab. A list of NEs for which restores can be
performed on and any previous restore information appears.
9 Choose the device that you need to restore and click Restore.
10 Confirm the action. The restore runs and the success or failure of the restore is
indicated in the Last Operation Details column.
11 Verify that the Command to Apply parameter is set to Certified. See Procedure
8-8.
Note 1 — You can import the locally available backup file for the same
NE to the 5620 SAM which can be restored. Ensure the backup policy
remains the same as was in place during the backup procedure. This will
prevent the 5620 SAM from generating an error while importing the file.
Note 2 — The restored backup configuration is stored on a working
directory. Success indicates that the file is successfully transferred to
the appropriate NEs. However, the file will not become active until the
device(s) have been reloaded from the working directory.
