Backing Up the CAM Database
Step 3 Upload the new tar file to the destination CAM/CAS for backup or to populate an HA-Standby
CAM/CAS.
[root@cam1]# scp authorization.tar.gz root@<IP address>
root@<IP address>'s password:
authorization.tar.gz 100% 1107 1.1KB/s 00:00
Step 4 Telnet or SSH to the command line interface of the secondary CAM/CAS, navigate to the /root/.perfigo/
directory, and extract the contents of the uploaded tar file.
[root@cam2]# cd /root/
[root@cam2]# cd .perfigo/
[root@cam2]# tar xvzf authorization.tar.gz
auth_nac_en.txt
auth_nac.txt
auth_warn_nac_en.txt
caCerts
Step 5 Verify that the files have been uploaded and extracted correctly.
[root@cam2]# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 21 11:09 auth_nac_en.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Jul 21 11:09 auth_nac.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 Jul 21 11:09 auth_warn_nac_en.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1346 Jul 20 21:49 caCerts
Step 6 Stop and Restart the secondary CAM/CAS to apply the duplicate settings.
[root@cam2]# service perfigo stop
