Restoring a configurable portable snapshot

Last Updated : Apr 29, 2020 |

About this task

You can restore configurable portable snapshots from an HA system that allow you to separate or combine Avaya SBC instances.

Before you begin

Ensure that the Avaya SBC instance on which you are restoring the snapshot and the Avaya SBC instance from which the snapshot was taken meet the following requirements:

  • The instance has the same number of interfaces.

  • The instances are of the same version.

Ensure that the Avaya SBC instance on which the snapshot is being restored is in a Commissioned state.

Important:

The EMS server restore affects services on Avaya SBC because the restore function deletes and restores the database.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the EMS web interface with administrator credentials.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Backup/Restore.
  3. On the Backup/Restore page, click the Configurable Snapshot tab.
  4. In the row corresponding to the snapshot file to be restored, click Restore.

    The EMS server displays the Restore Configurable Snapshot page.

  5. In the Device field, select a device, and click Finish.

    The EMS server restores the configuration from the snapshot to the device that you chose. The time taken for restoring the snapshot varies depending on the server type.

    Logs related to the portable snapshot and restore process are stored on the EMS at /archive/log/icu/DBDumpRestore.log.

    You can change system-specific data, such as server flow names, manually after the portable snapshot is restored.
