Appendix E Database Backup and Restore
Restoring Fabric Manager Server Database
Restoring Fabric Manager Server Database
To restore the Fabric Manager Server database, use the pg_restore command.
cd $ INSTALLDIR/bin
./pgrestore.sh 02252008.data (on Linux and Solaris operating systems)
pgrestore.bat 02252008.data (on Windows operating system)
The backup restore process requires the server to be stopped.
Note In all operating systems, the scripts run pg_restore command to restore the database.
Database Backup and Restore Operations
When implementing the Fabric Manager Server backup and restore operations, note the following
guidelines:
• The new media keys created after the backup of the database are lost after the restore operation since
the backup copy does not have the latest media keys.
• If there are new tape backup groups and tape volume groups created after the database backup, the
property should be set to true in smeserver.properties before starting the Fabric Manager Server.
This will synchronize the new volume group keys to the KMC.
sme.kmc.sync.model.at.startup=true
This property is also applicable for any tape volume group rekey operation.
• If a master key is rekeyed after the database backup, then restoring the data of the previous database
makes the cluster unusable. After the master key rekey operation, make a backup of the database and
discard the copies of the previous database backup.
