Restoring OMIMSSC Appliance
Pre-requisites:
Ensure that you restore the data before performing any operations on the new OMIMSSC Appliance.
Perform the following steps for restoring old OMIMSSC Appliance data on a fresh OMIMSSC Appliance:
1. From the OMIMSSC admin portal, click Settings, and then click Restore Appliance
2. There are two options available for restoring appliance data.
● Option 1: Restore using IP address
This option should be used to restore data from OMIMSSC versions 7.1, 7.1.1, and 7.2.
In IP Address, provide the IP address of the old OMIMSSC appliance, and click Restore.
NOTE: Data is restored to the new OMIMSSC appliance.
● Option 2: Restore using a custom CIFS share
This option should be used to restore data from 7.2.1 release onwards
NOTE: CIFS share access credentials are stored in the database as credential profile. For added security measures,
encryption password should be provided to decrypt the backed up file.
a. Provide the CIFS share location path in the \\<IP address or FQDN>\<folder name>\<filename>.tar.gz
format.
b. Select the Credential Profile for CIFS share from the drop-down menu.
c. Enter the file encryption password and click Restore.
The Restore page will be logged out automatically.
3. To view the status of restore, after the OMIMSSC appliance restarts:
It is recommended that you wait for few minutes before you log in so that all services are initiated.
a. Log in to OMIMSSC admin portal.
b. Expand Settings, and then click Logs.
c. Download the dlciappliance_main.log file, and search for the following message for a successful restore:
Successfully restored OMIMSSC Appliance
Perform the following after restoring the old OMIMSSC Appliance:
● It is recommended that you re-create the scheduled jobs after restoring old OMIMSSC Appliance.
● For the hypervisor profiles exported from earlier version of OMIMSSC, ensure that you edit the profile to provide the ISO file
path and Windows credential profile.
