Restoring vFoglight
“Restoring” a physical backup means reconstructing it and making it available to users.
This section outlines how to restore an old vFoglight installation.
Note In order to restore a previous vFoglight installation, you must have a backed up copy of that
version. For information about how to back up a vFoglight system, see “Backing Up
vFoglight” on page 89.
To restore a previous vFoglight installation:
1
Restore the database used by the old vFoglight Management Server, from the
database export file:
• If your system contains an Oracle database, see “To restore an Oracle database
from the database export file:” on page 102 for instructions.
• If your system contains a MySQL database, see “To restore a MySQL
database from the database export file:” on page 103 for instructions.
2
Restore the old vFoglight installation directory. For instructions, see “To restore
the previous vFoglight installation directory:” on page 104.
3
Ensure that the vFoglight Management Server starts up successfully on the
restored installation:
cd <installation_dir>/bin
./fms
The previous vFoglight installation is now restored.
To restore an Oracle database from the database export file:
1
Log in to the Oracle database server machine.
2
If necessary, delete the database you are going to restore, so that all the tables in
the database are deleted (in other words, drop the database). Choose one of the
following options:
• Locate the oracle_drop_db.sql script in the scripts/sql directory of your
vFoglight Management Server installation, and then run that script using the
following syntax:
sqlplus <dbadmin_usr>/<dbadmin_pwd>@<ORACLE_SID>
