Chapter 1 Upgrading, Downgrading, Backing Up and Restoring Software Files : Restoring a Configuration Database File

Restoring a Configuration Database File
When to Restore
Restoring a backup configuration database file may be necessary in a number of circumstances:
to return configuration database information back to a system after performing a TIBCO Messaging Appliance software downgrade
if the system databases are otherwise corrupted or their integrity is compromised, for example, from an accidental deletion by an operator
Restoring From a Local Backup File
To restore a local backup configuration database file from on the P-7500 system:
1.
Enter the cd configs User EXEC command to display and identify the backup file to be restored:
   tibco> cd /configs
   tibco> dir
   -rw-rw---- admin solgroup 756311 Mar 03 14:38 backup
   -rw-r----- pascal solgroup 756321 Mar 03 14:45 tma-8.7.0.0003-3feb2011.config
2.
Enter the enable command at the User EXEC Level prompt:
   tibco> enable
   tibco#
The P-7500 CLI is now in Privileged EXEC level.
3.
Enter this reload Privileged EXEC command to restore a manually created backup file and activate it:
   tibco# reload config /configs/backup
Note: If left unspecified, the system is restarted with no change to the configuration database
4.
You have completed this procedure.
 
.
Restoring From a Remote Server
To restore a backup configuration database file from a remote server to the P-7500 system:
1.
2.
Enter the enable command at the User EXEC Level prompt:
   tibco> enable
   tibco#
The P-7500 CLI is now in Privileged EXEC level.
3.
Enter this copy Privileged EXEC command to copy the desired backup file from the remote server to the /configs subdirectory on the system:
   tibco# copy scp://[username@]ip-addr/remote-pathname    /configs/ config-file
where:
4.
After successfully transferring the backup file to the /configs subdirectory, enter this reload Privileged EXEC command to restore the backup file and activate it:
   tibco# reload config config-file
where config-file is the location from where to retrieve the system’s configuration database file on restart.
Note: If left unspecified, the local current configuration database file is used.
5.
You have completed this procedure.
