Restoring Application Enablement Services using the command line interface

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to restore the server data when the size of a backup file is greater than 10 MB.

Note:

Remove the Geo Redundant High Availability (GRHA) configuration before restoring the database backup. If you restore the backup when GRHA is enabled, GRHA might not work properly. If this happens, remove GRHA and then reconfigure.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Application Enablement Services CLI as a cust user, then log in as a root user using the command su -root.
  2. To copy the backup file to the /tmp directory, use the following command: 
    cp <backup file> to /tmp
  3. To restore the server data, do the following:
    • Run the following command to restore with the GRHA configuration: 
      /opt/mvap/bin/Restore.sh –L </path/to/LargeAESBackupFIle.tar.gz>
    • Run the following command to restore without the GRHA configuration: 
      /opt/mvap/bin/Restore.sh –L -n </path/to/LargeAESBackupFIle.tar.gz>
  4. Run the following commands to restart the services: 
    systemctl restart DBService
systemctl restart aesvcs
systemctl restart sohd
systemctl restart nftables
systemctl restart httpd
systemctl restart tomcat
systemctl restart snmpd
systemctl restart subagent1
systemctl restart subagent2
    Note:

    Restart if both GRHA and sohd are running.
