OMC-R Preventive Maintenance Backup

1.

INTRODUCTION
This procedure is valid for single, dual and integrated server OMC-R configuration.

1.1.

OBJECT
The aim of this document is to describe the different kinds of backup that must be performed to save data or the OMC-R configuration, the procedures to perform them, and the scheduling for each of them. Preventive backup can be performed on following data types: Unix file system used to save the content of the applicative and system partitions of an OMC-R computer OMC-R environment data (i.e. network and OMC-R configuration and also file system) OMC-R daily data PCUOAM configuration backup (MDM and PCUSN configuration files) SVM configuration backups, disks partitioning, SVM configuration, applicative tree on file-systems

Each data backup can be restored separately for some particular uses: Previous daily data consultation (notifications, alarms, ...) Specific BDE (i.e. network and OMC-R configuration) restoration

For a global restoration, to be done after a major damage for example, the operator has to use the [A2] procedure.

1.2.

SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to OMC-R server(s) in single, integrated or dual configuration. This procedure can be run either on an OMC-R workstation or a server, which hardware configurations can be: dual E4500 servers with two T3 disks trays single E4500 server with two T3 disks trays Sun Fire 880 server with two T3 disks trays Sun Fire 890 server with 12 internal disks (HDI configuration) This procedure is applicable to OMC-R server(s) with and without a graphic display and a keyboard alike. Hardware installation issues (e.g. how to add or remove a graphic display and a keyboard) are explained in the [A1] procedure.

Terminal session sample:


Under omc login:

/ (omc) % cd my_directory my_directory (omc) % ls a.out i_am_a_short_file_with_a_really_i_mean_really _no_but_unbelievably_ long_name ........ toto.o my_directory (omc) % vi my_file my_directory (omc) %

The typographic conventions of a terminal session are also used to display the content of a UNIX file.

3.1.2 INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC SESSIONS


The graphic interactive commands are described with the following syntax: Convention used GOTO SELECT SELECT_OBJ SET CLOSE Title Save - OK omc State = locked T2 = 30s Title Meaning Go to the window named "Title" Click with the mouse on the buttons or options named "Save", then "OK". Select the object omc Enter with the keyboard the values of the parameters Close the window named "Title"

3.2.

SEQUENCE TABLE CONVENTION


For each major step of the procedure, a sequence table lists the operation steps to perform. Each operation step is described completely in the sheet referenced by its page number. A sheet may have to be executed at different stages of the procedure and in different contexts; for this reason, a set of input parameters for the sheet may indicate the context. A sequence table provides for each operation step the time required to perform it. The time indicated for an operation step is maximum elapsed time and corresponds to a nominal hardware configuration. A question mark ? specified means that the time required for operation step is unknown. An asterisk * is used when the time indicated may change depending on the different conditions like: a hardware platform, a network bandwidth, data drive used for backup/restore, customer data, a size of database and so on. Since the sheets are not in the execution order and can be executed several times, the sequence tables should be considered as the reference guide during the procedure.

OMC-R FILE SYSTEM BACKUP ON DAT


This type of backup is applicable for OMC-R servers and SB1500/SB150/U5 workstations.

4.2.1 PREREQUISITES
Passwords for root and croot user.

4.2.2 RESOURCES
One technician, familiar with the UNIX system and OMC-R commands A DAT drive is required on the computer to back up (an external DAT drive on OMC-R workstation) Generally one DAT cartridge per computer to back up the file systems. Quantity of the tapes depends on size of the file systems and the type of the tape being used One DAT cartridge to back up the SVM configuration One DAT cartridge for environment and daily data backup One DAT cartridge for PCUOAM configuration backup

Please use the following tapes depending on DAT drive you have on a computer: For DDS-3 DAT drive: DDS-3 (125m) tape. Please dont use DDS-1 (60m) tape as it may not suffice For DDS-4 DAT drive: DDS-4 (150m) tape

For DAT 72 drive: DAT 72 (170m) tape

Please refer to the sheet DDS TAPE AND DRIVE UNIT COMPATIBILITY (page 59) to find more information about tapes and drives compatibility.

4.2.3 OVERVIEW
This backup is necessary for saving the file system of OMC-R computers. This backup doesnt manage the OMC-R environment data (saved on raw devices), and therefore is not sufficient for a complete OMC-R restoration (a database reinstallation is necessary).

4.2.4 ARCHIVING DESCRIPTION


The backup must be performed by the UNIX root user while the OMC-R is stopped. The system (OMC-R server or OMC-R workstation) will be put in single-user mode to perform the complete backup and then in multi-user mode if a backup of the disks array device is performed. The backup can be performed on an OMC-R server or an OMC-R workstation. For workstation, a DAT drive must be connected to the workstation itself, no remote DAT drive can be used. Four types of backup are defined: System backup : system partitions (/, /usr, /var, /opt and /home) are dumped Local application backup: applicative partitions (/MD/base, /OMC/base, /CMN/base, /misc (/MISCELLANEOUS for Integrated configuration)) are dumped Complete backup : system partitions and applicative partitions are dumped Disks array device backup: this backup applies to disks that are located in a disks array device (T3 or HDI). It only saves disks partitioning, SVM configuration and applicative tree on file-systems. It does not save filesystems built on disks of the disks array device; all data residing on those file-systems are saved using OMC-R environment and daily data archiving tool. So, environment and daily data archiving is mandatory to complete the backup of disks array device.

Only one backup can be performed on a DAT cartridge (no label is necessary). If interrupted, a backup can be run again, but the data stored on the DAT cartridge before the interruption cannot be restored. A complete backup of a computer can only be restored on the computer with the same disks configuration. A backup of disks array device can be only restored on the active/integrated server.

This type of backup is necessary when performing a global restoration procedure on a system as described in the [A2] document, after any major sinister.

4.2.6 SYSTEM IMPACT


The OMC-R application must be stopped on the local host. The operation can last up to several hours depending on the size of data to be saved and the type of tape drive being used.

4.3.

OMC-R FILE SYSTEM BACKUP ON DVD


This type of backup is applicable for Sun Ultra 45 workstations only.

4.3.1 PREREQUISITES
Passwords for root and croot user.

4.3.2 RESOURCES

4.3.3 OVERVIEW
This backup is necessary for saving the file system of U45 workstation. This backup is not applicable to computers with any other hardware architecture.

4.3.4 ARCHIVING DESCRIPTION


The backup includes two main steps: creating images and burning images. The creating images step must be performed by the UNIX root user while the OMC-R is stopped. The system will be put in single-user mode to create DVD images and then in the multi-user mode. The burning images step is performed in multi-user mode and does not require the OMC-R to be stopped. During the backup, partitions /, /var, /OMC/maps, /OMC and /home are dumped.

4.3.5 INTERVAL
A file system backup should be performed on an OMC-R computer before and after each major change in the OMC-R installation and configuration, for example: OMC-R installation on an U45 workstation OMC-R upgrade on an U45 workstation Disk substitution on an U45 workstation

This type of backup is necessary when performing a global restoration procedure on a system as described in the [A2] document, after any major sinister accident.

4.3.6 SYSTEM IMPACT


The OMC-R application must be stopped during the Creating images step on the local host. The operation can last up to several hours depending on the size of data to be saved.

4.4.3 OVERVIEW
This backup deals with the OMC-R environment data (the network and the OMC-R configuration data). The permanent data saved are collection of files containing parameters to configure the OMC-R application, and databases containing the network description. This backup is usually called the BDE backup. This type of backup must be systematically performed after a backup of disks array device.

4.4.4 ARCHIVING DESCRIPTION


This operation can only be performed on the active server. The OMC-R must be running while performing the OMC-R environment data backup. Following data will be backed up: MD-R data : Event Forwarding Discriminators, mdWarning, configuration files (Purge configuration, MMI configuration, applicative communication layers configuration, synthetic counters...), applicative tables of the mediation device database, Management Information Tree Manager data : operator or NORTEL synthetic counters formulas, command files, user and terminal profiles, applicative tables of the manager database Common data : configuration parameters of the SYBASE system databases and common functions

OMC-R Preventive Maintenance Backup


Estimation of the backup data size Creation of backup DVD images Burning backup DVD images

These three steps have 2 optional parameters: excl_file name of the file with the excluded data list. If you need to exclude certain data from the set of backup files, create the file as specified at step S36 Prepare excluded and included data lists. incl_file name of the file with the included data list. If you need to include certain data to the set of backup files, create the file as specified at step S36 Prepare excluded and included data lists. Backup on DVD is possible only if sizes of the / and /var partitions (taken separately) do not exceed the capacity of 1 DVD (4.7 Gb). If it is not the case, you need to remove unnecessary files from these partitions or put them into the backup exclude list (see step S36 Prepare excluded and included data lists).

Backup DVD images are created in the /home/backup/DVD directory (named the work directory hereafter), therefore, this directory must have enough free space to store the images. The amount of free space needs to be not less than 4.37 * (X+1) Gb (where X is an estimated number of DVD disks, which can be known at step S37 Estimation of the backup data size).

Note: By default, tip_backup_dvd.sh excludes the following files defined in its internal exclude list: All core files present on the disk All wtmpx files present on the disk All utmpx files present on the disk All messages.* files from directory /var/adm All gcore files from directory /CMN/base/diagnostic Directory /var/crash Directory /home except files in directories /home/omc, /home/CIUS, /home/TT_DB and /home/users/data (hence, work directory /home/backup/DVD is excluded by default) If you need to backup certain data from this list, you can use included data list for this purpose (step S36 Prepare excluded and included data lists).

Note: If the CIUS service is enabled on the backed up workstation, you must disable it

HOW TO
SCOPE
The purpose of this sheet is to help you perform some basic operations that you have to do to complete the main procedure.

INITIAL STATUS
The OMC-R application is running and the MMI is accessible on every local workstation.

ACTIONS

ON A SERVER, without a graphic display and keyboard ON A PCUOAM WORKSTATION, without a graphic display and keyboard
For a server or PCUOAM workstation without a graphic display and keyboard, the supervisory workstation displays a console window. This window is called deported console window. The deported console is necessary to access the server when the UNIX network layer is not available (e.g. reboot, stop A). Most commands can be carried out remotely from a workstation by means of the remote access procedure described below. Thus, opening a server or PCUOAM workstation session means starting a remote access session on an OMC-R workstation (see step D1). No deported console via the "terminal server" from the supervisory workstation is required. But each time the console window is required, (such as reboot after "stop A"), the deported console via the "terminal server" from the supervisory workstation is mandatory and is precisely specified before performing a command. A1. How to update the environment variable to use the "vi" editor on the deported server console:
Type at the command prompt of the deported server console:

... # TERM=sun-cmd ; export TERM

ON SERVER
B1. Locked mode: How to lock the server Lock the server by turning the front key to the LOCKED position ( ). B2. Unlocked mode: How to unlock the server Unlock the server by turning the front key to the ON position (I).

OMC-R DATA ARCHIVING\RESTORING


SCOPE
The purpose of this sheet is to describe how to: archive the OMC-R environment data (BDE, configuration data) for the current day (today) restore the OMC-R environment data for specific day archive the OMC-R daily data (observations, alarms...) for the last 3 days before today Note: The daily data for the current day cannot be archived restore the OMC-R daily data collected for a specific day archive PCUOAM configuration restore PCUOAM configuration Required resources, if the backup media is not a backup server: DAT with the previous data archive for restoration or blank DAT (or DAT used previously to archive OMC-R daily or environment data with enough space left) without protection for archiving. For Integrated configuration: USE ONLY DAT OF DDS-4 OR DAT-72 TYPE.

INPUT PARAMETERS
RefDocLabel Reference document

INITIAL STATUS
If you perform daily data archiving/restoration: the OMC-R is running. If you perform archiving of environment data: the OMC-R is running. If you perform restoration of environment data: the OMC-R is halted. If you perform PCUOAM archiving/restoration: the OMC-R must be running on both the active server and the PCUOAM workstation (in case of single or dual OMC-R configuration) or on the integrated server (in case of integrated OMC-R configuration). An omc session is available on the OMC-R server.

ACTIONS
1. If not yet done, open a shell session of the omc account, on the active OMC-R server. The media should have a label to perform archiving/restoring. Refer to [RefDocLabel] to for details on working with labels associated with DAT and NFS backup server. 2. If the backup media is a DAT, Insert a DAT in the DAT drive of the active server, if not yet done. If you use blank DAT then assign a label If the DAT already has a label and you dont know the label name: get the label name from DAT If you are not sure there is a label then: try to get the label name from DAT If the backup media is NFS backup server, in the OMC-R define the label pointing to NFS backup server, if not yet done Now the media label is known (labelName below). You will need it to go on for next steps.

Required resources: - At least, one DVD disk to back up the U45 workstation without CIUS software installed or two DVD disks to back up the U45 workstation with the CIUS software installed: Please use the following types of DVD media: DVD+RW / DVD-RW 4x DVD+R / DVD-R 4x-8x Other types of DVD cannot be used. Disks of the DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD-RW types must be blank. If you use the DVD-RW disks, you should have blanked them on one of the previous steps in the procedure. Please, return to this step, if you have not performed it. DVD+RW disks can be either blank or not blank, it does not matter.

- CIUS DVD-ROM Solaris 10 (labelled "DVD_OAMGSM_SOL10")

INPUT PARAMETERS
step: indicates what backup step is performed: estimation - backup data size estimation images_creation - images creation burning - burning images installing_boot_image - installing PE_BOOT_DVD image into the work directory name of the file with the excluded data list name of the file with the included data list

excl_file: incl_file:

INITIAL STATUS
The console terminal of the machine is available.

ACTIONS
Perform appropriate section correspondingly to the value of the step parameter: If step = installing_boot_image: { 1. Insert the CIUS DVD-ROM Solaris 10 into the DVD-RW drive of the computer. Wait until the OS recognizes the disk (a window with the disk contents like as follows will pop up):

Note: Normally it takes about 20 seconds for the OS to recognize the DVD. If the CIUS DVD-ROM is not recognized after 1 minute, it may mean that the disk has mechanical defects. In this case, eject the disk with the DVD-RW drive eject button and try to insert another CIUS DVD-ROM Solaris 10. 2. Install PE_BOOT_DVD image into the work directory:

Type at the command prompt of the root or croot account shell on the computer:

# /usr/local/oam/bin/tip_backup_dvd.sh -Y install 3. } If step = estimation: { 1. Run the following command:


Type at the command prompt of the root or croot account shell on the computer:

Take off automatically ejected CIUS DVD-ROM disk.

# /usr/local/oam/bin/tip_backup_dvd.sh -Y C [-X<excl_file>] [-I<incl_file>] The tool will display information about its processing in detail. At the end, you will be able to see a table with estimated information regarding: - Distribution of the partition dumps among DVD disks: o At first, DVD number is written. If the DVD is bootable (that means you will need to boot from this DVD to make a restoration), it is indicated in parenthesis. o Then DVD contents are listed. For each backed up partition its name and the size of dump in kilobytes are specified. If you see [vol #x] after the partition name, it means that the partition dump is assumed to be split among several DVD disks; in this case, x is a partition dump volume number. If the DVD is bootable, special set of data OS&tools is also put on the DVD so that it is possible to boot the computer from this DVD and start the restoration. o After the list of contents, summed up information about filled and remained free space on the DVD is given - Excluded and included backup data: o Lists of data excluded by default, excluded and include by a user (with sizes in kilobytes)

If this is not the case, you may change excluded and included data lists and repeat this step. Note: Real amount of disks for backup and time necessary to create images may be bigger than estimated values due to specifics of the ufsdump tool, which is used to dump partitions. }

# /usr/local/oam/bin/tip_backup_dvd.sh -Y [-X<excl_file>] [-I<incl_file>] The tool will display the table with the backup contents and the time that the backup will take. After this table you will see the question: Are you ready to start the backup?: ("yes" or "no") You need to answer yes to start the images creation process. To decline the images creation, you may answer no. 2. Switch to multi-user mode by pressing [Ctrl]-[d] combination on the keyboard.

When the disk is ready it is automatically ejected. Take it off.

If you decide not to proceed with burning DVD disks, you may type: exit } 2. 3. Mark all recorded DVD disks (e.g. with a felt-tip pen). Verify recorded disks. Note: Verification takes about 15 minutes for each disk, if they all are of a good quality. If there are read errors on the disks, verification may last for a longer period of

time, since the OS attempts to re-read faulty sectors several times. If you are sure in good quality of the used disks, you may skip this step to save time. To start verification, run the following command:
Type at the command prompt of the root or croot account shell on the computer:

# /usr/local/oam/bin/tip_backup_dvd.sh -Y -verify For every backup DVD, the tool will ask: { Please, insert backup DVD#X into the DVD-RW drive and type 'ver' to start its verification (or 'exit' to exit from the tool): It means that you need to insert backup DVD #X into the DVD-RW drive and type: ver If you decide not to proceed with verifying DVD disks, you may type: exit Depending on the result of verification, you will see either: Backup DVD #X verification has successfully passed - that means that the disk is fully readable and can be used for restoration. ERROR ERROR cannot ERROR : Backup DVD #X verification has failed : The disk has bad (non-readable) sectors and be used for restoration : You must burn image for DVD #X on another DVD disk

- that means that the disk cannot be used for restoration. In this case, after verification finishes, you can burn image for DVD #X on another DVD disk with the following command (you should act as in the general case of the -burn option, as described above):
Type at the command prompt of the root or croot account shell on the computer:

# /usr/local/oam/bin/tip_backup_dvd.sh -Y -burnX (where X is a number of the defective backup DVD) } 4. After all images are successfully burned, it is recommended that you remove images from the work directory:

DEFINING EXCLUDED AND INCLUDED DATA LISTS WHEN PERFORMING BACKUP ON DVD
PRESENTATION
The purpose of this sheet is to describe how to define excluded and included data lists when performing a backup on DVD.

INPUT PARAMETERS
excl_file: incl_file: name of the file with the excluded data list name of the file with the included data list

INITIAL STATUS
The console terminal of the machine is available.

ACTIONS
It is possible to exclude or include a number of files (and/or directories) from the whole backup data set. To do this, you need to create files with exclude and include lists, respectively, basing on the following rules: - Excluded elements are specified line by line - Excluded elements can be either files or directories - Wildcard characters cannot be used in file names - You can temporarily comment some files with the # symbol 1. If you need to exclude a number of files: create file <excl_file> with any text editor and put all excluded files line by line basing on the rules specified above.

Note: By default, tip_backup_dvd.sh excludes the following files defined in its internal exclude list: - All core files present on the disk All wtmpx files present on the disk All utmpx files present on the disk All messages.* files from directory /var/adm All gcore files from directory /CMN/base/diagnostic Directory /var/crash Directory /home except files in directories /home/omc /home/CIUS /home/TT_DB /home/users/data (hence, work directory /home/backup/DVD is excluded by default)

2. If you need to include certain files, which were excluded as a part of the internal or user excluded data list, you can use included data list for this purpose: create file <incl_file> with any text editor and put all included files line by line basing on the rules specified above.

Examples of user exclude and include lists:
