Backing up and
Restoring the Database
and Code Image
The configuration database is stored in battery-backed RAM in the PathBuilder
S600. The rechargeable battery will protect the database for an approximate 24
hour loss of AC power but, as further protection, 3Com recommends that you
back up the database daily as well as after any major configuration changes.
The reset of the MCPU is necessary (in this release) to synchronize the data base
on the MCPU (BBR and RAM). The port card resets are necessary (in this release) if
the new data base is different from the old.
Backing up the Database
To back up the database, follow these steps:
1 Select [1] System Administration to display the System Administration menu.
2 Select [10] Reset Interface Card to display the Reset Port Card screen.
3 Enter [1] , for the MCPU card.
4 Enter [Y] from the confirmation prompt to reset the card.
5 Create a directory that will hold only the database files.
6 Move to the directory you created in step 5.
7 FTP to the node (
FTP <node>
).
n
FTP login will be the node name (upper left hand corner of user interface).
n
FTP password will be the node password (the password used to access user
interface).
8 Switch to binary mode by entering:
binary
9 Change directory to /fileDev/disk by entering:
cd /fileDev/disk
10 Back up all files by entering:
mget *
11 Exit FTP by entering:
bye
Restoring the Database
To restore the database, follow these steps:
1 Move to the directory you created earlier, in step 5 under “Backing up the
Database”. This directory should contain only the database files.
2 FTP to the node (
FTP <node>
).
n
FTP login will be the node name (upper left corner of user interface).
n
FTP password will be the node password (the password used to access the
interface).
3 Switch to binary mode by entering:
binary
4 Change directory to /fileDev/disk by entering:
cd /fileDev/disk
