18.4.1 Back up all data periodically
Make sure that your disaster recovery plan includes a regularly scheduled complete backup of all NNMi data. You do not need to shut down NNMi to create this backup. If you incorporate the backup into a script, you can use the -force option to ensure that NNMi is in the correct state before the backup begins.
- Example:
nnmbackup.ovpl -force -type online -scope all -archive -target nnmi_backups\periodic
To recover your NNMi data after a hardware failure, follow these steps:
-
Repair or replace the failed hardware.
-
Install NNMi to the same version and patch level as were in place at the time of the backup.
-
Restore the NNMi data.
-
If the recovery NNMi management server satisfies the requirements listed in 18.3.1 Same-system restore, run a command similar to the following example:
nnmrestore.ovpl -force -lic -source \ nnmi_backups\periodic\newest_backup
-
If the recovery NNMi management server does not qualify for a same-system restore but satisfies the requirements listed in 18.3.2 Different-system restore, run a command similar to the following example:
nnmrestore.ovpl -force -source nnmi_backups\periodic\newest_backup
Update the licensing as needed.
