Titan SiliconServer
To Restore the SiliconServer Configuration from Backup
Do the following to restore the server’s configuration settings from a backup file:
1.
Click the
EVS Management
link and
disable the EVS
before restoring the configuration.
2.
Click
browse...
to find and select a configuration file (e.g. registry_data.gz) for the
Restore Configuration field.
3.
Click the
restore
button. The file will be uploaded to Titan.
4.
Reboot the server for the changes to take effect.
If the configuration has been restored to the original server, the storage will be available once
the reboot is complete. If the configuration is being restored to a different server, as in the case
of disaster recovery, the storage may not be immediately available after the reboot. In such a
case, the Storage Pools may be displayed as being assigned to "another cluster". To make the
storage available, three steps are required:
❑
Run
span-assign-to-cluster
from the CLI to associate the Storage Pools with
the server. For more information, run
man span-assign-to-cluster
at the CLI.
❑
Allow access to the Storage Pools. For more information, see "
To Allow Access to a
Storage Pool
".
❑
Assign the file systems to an EVS. If the file system is not currently associated
with an EVS, this assignment can be performed on the File System Details page.
See "
To View the Details of a File System
".
