Procedure 14-15 To restore the primary database in a redundant
5620 SAM system
Perform this procedure to restore a 5620 SAM database using a database backup
created on the same station in a redundant 5620 SAM system. The station is called the
primary database station in this procedure.
To regain 5620 SAM database redundancy when the database restore is complete, you
must reinstantiate the restored primary database on the standby database station. See
Procedures 14-16 and 14-17 for information.
You require the following to perform this procedure:
• a 5620 SAM database backup file set from the same 5620 SAM release
• the 5620 SAM database installation utility used to create the database during
the most recent installation or upgrade
• the database name, database instance names, and the user names and
passwords specified during 5620 SAM database creation
• the user name and password of a 5620 SAM client account that has the admin
scope of command role
• the original file path of the database backup
• root user privileges on the main server and 5620 SAM database stations
• samadmin user privileges on the main server stations
• Oracle management user privileges on the 5620 SAM database stations
1 If the 5620 SAM database backup file set is on the primary database station, copy
the file set to another station for safekeeping.
2 Perform the following steps to stop the standby 5620 SAM main server.
i Log in to the standby main server station as the samadmin user.
ii Open a console window and enter the following to navigate to the server
binary directory:
bash$ cd path/nms/bin ↵
where path is the 5620 SAM server installation location, typically /opt/5620sam/server
iii Enter the following to stop the 5620 SAM server software:
bash$ ./nmsserver.bash force_stop ↵
iv Enter the following to display the 5620 SAM server status:
bash$ ./nmsserver.bash appserver_status ↵
