Restore a Database
Use this procedure to restore a previously saved database.
Tip: The system does not allow you to log in during the restore and reset
period. Once the system has completed the restore and reset, you should
see "deleting/ipservicesdb.tar" in the RTC. This is a good indication that you
can log back in to the System Administration Tool.
Tip: Restoring a database from one platform to another requires that the two
databases match in the modules and add-ons, including embedded analog
circuits programmed. As an example, the database from a controller
programmed with TDM modules cannot be restored on an MXe Server unless
all of the TDM configurations are deleted first. Furthermore, the IP address
of the source platfom (where the backup was done) and the destination
platform (where the backup is restored) must match; otherwise, the Restore
will fail (see the following Note for an exception to this rule). To avoid failure,
change the IP address in the destination before restoring; then, after the
restore, change it back.
Note: MCD 4.0 SP4 and MCD 5.0 controllers will accept databases from
other controllers; there is no need to match the IP addresses first. Certain
rules apply when restoring these databases, particularly in SDS-sharing
networks. See “Restoring Foreign 3300 ICP Databases” in the System
Administration Tool Help for more information.
Restore path Restore allowed?
Prior to release 3.3 database No
3.3 to release 4.1 or later Yes
MX database to MXe No - if AOB was configured
Yes - if you first delete the AOB configuration
Other controller database to
MXe Server No - if other controller has TDM interfaces or
CIMs are configured
Yes - if delete all TDM configs, all CIM
configs, voice mail and record-a-call
Database from one system with
embedded analog circuits to
another system with embedded
analog circuits No - if systems provide for different numbers
of embedded analog circuits
Yes - if the number of embedded circuits
match
Note: The LX and the MXe Server have no embedded circuits.
Note: You cannot restore a database backed up from a 3300 system (LX, AX,
MXe) to an MXe Server.
