Last Updated : Mar 14, 2023 |

About this task

Use this procedure to schedule automatic backups of the UCAStoreService/UCMService database to maintain a reasonably up to date data set in the event of an unplanned switchover and recovery from Data Center 1 to Data Center 2.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Avaya Breeze® > Cluster Administration.
  2. From the Backup and Restore field, select Configure.

    System Manager displays the Backup Storage Configuration page.

  3. In the FQDN or IP Address field, enter the FQDN or IP Address of the backup storage server.
  4. In the Login field, enter the user name that you use to log in to the backup storage server.
  5. In the Password field, enter the password that you use to log in to the backup storage server.
  6. In the SSH Port field, enter the port number of the backup storage server.
  7. In the Directory field, enter the path to a directory in the backup storage server.
  8. In the Retained backup copies per cluster per snap-in DB field, specify the maximum number of backup file copies that you want to retain on the backup storage server.

    If you do not specify any value, the backup storage server retains all backup files.

  9. Click Commit.
  10. Select the check box for the DR Avaya Oceana® Cluster 1.

    Select the UCMService and UCAStoreService database check boxes to be included in the backup.

  13. In the Backup Password field, enter a password for the backup.
    Important:

    Make a note of the password because you require this password to restore UCMService.
