Backup and Restore of EncrypTight Manager

[root@PIT-ETM-N1 upgrade]# /etc/init.d/policyserver start Server is starting, check the log files for application status

2 Start the policyserver on EncrypTight Manager Cluster Node 2 YOU MUST wait for the startup to complete before continuing

[root@PIT-ETM-N2 upgrade]# /etc/init.d/policyserver start Server is starting, check the log files for application status

3 Start the policyserver on Disaster Recovery Server Node 1 YOU MUST wait for the startup to complete before continuing

[root@PIT-ETM-DR1 upgrade]# /etc/init.d/policyserver start Server is starting, check the log files for application status

4 Start the policyserver on Disaster Recovery Server Node 2 (Assuming DR Servers are also clustered) YOU MUST wait for the startup to complete before continuing

[root@PIT-ETM-DR2 upgrade]# /etc/init.d/policyserver start Server is starting, check the log files for application status

Backing out of an upgrade

Once the upgrade has completed if there are any problems you can back completely out of the upgrade.

Go to /opt/upgradebackup

Execute the downgrade.sh

./downgrade.sh

This will take the server back to the version before the upgrade.

General Guidelines

There are a variety of failure scenarios that can occur in a production environment, and recovering from these scenarios will not always involve the same procedures. The procedures to follow will be specific to what type of failure occurred, and how much data loss there was as a result. The common failure cases, addressed here are:

disk drive failures

other hardware component failures damage to the ETM software or database other filesystem damage

complete loss of the OS

Every IT organization will have policies or practices related to backing up servers, so we should learn what a given customer does and ensure that they include the ETM servers in their procedures. We should also ensure that their practices include creating, or already having, some form of bootable media (e.g. DVD) so that they can access the disk drives of a ETM server in case some radical damage is done to the OS (such as 'rm -rf /'). Common examples would be a bootable Linux CD/DVD, a recovery CD made from Clonezilla, a Ghost recovery DVD, or a generic rescue CD (or even USB stick) such as this
