Chapter 16 Disaster Recovery Procedures
Disaster Recovery Using the Automatic Shared Memory Backup
Disaster Recovery Using the Automatic Shared Memory Backup
Note
This procedure is for use with BTS 10200 Release 4.5.1 and above.
The purpose of the section is to describe the procedure for restoring a BTS network element’s shared
memory from a backup copy created by the BTS Automatic Shared Memory Backup subsystem.
This procedure should
only
be run in the event of corrupted shared memory in both the Active and
Standby side of the same BTS network element (NE).
Note
There is an existing procedure that achieves this same end result. However, it requires a download from
the EMS, which can take a relatively long time to complete. The advantage of using the procedure listed
here is that the EMS is bypassed, allowing the Call Agent or Feature Server platform to be restored to
an operational state in a much shorter time
Additionally, note that the data in the Automatic Shared Memory Backup (ASMB) can be up to 24 hours
old. Provisioning done in the time since the backup will be restored only after an audit and sync with the
EMS is completed at the end of the procedure.
Before You Begin
This procedure should only be completed if both of the following conditions are true:
•
Both Side A and Side B of the same BTS 10200 network element are out of service.
•
Neither side of the same BTS 10200 network element can be returned to service with a
platform
start
command due to corrupted shared memory
If these conditions are true, then the BTS 10200 network element should be restored to the ASMB
backup copy of the shared memory.
If not, then do not perform this procedure.
Before restoring your system, you must have the following:
•
Console access to the system to be restored
•
Location of the ASMB shared memory backup for the platform. This backup resides on the system
in the /bin directory of each BTS 10200 network element.
