Creating an Alternate Boot Device for Mirrored Systems 3
This procedure creates an alternate boot device. This procedure is
required only for Enterprise 3000 or Enterprise 3500 platforms configured
as mirrored systems.
For a description of the procedure used to create the alternate boot
device, see “Creating an Alternate Boot Device for Mirrored Systems” in
Chapter 2 of “CentreVu Call Management System R3V8 Software
Installation and Setup” (585-210-941).
Migrating CMS System Administration Data to the New
Server 3
This procedure uses the maintenance backup tape (Performing a
Maintenance Backup (Administration Data Only)” on Page3-12), which
was created on the original server, to migrate administration data onto
the new HA server.
Since the immediate objective is to bring the new HA server to an
operational state as quickly as possible, CMS Historical data is not
migrated onto the new HA server until later in the upgrade process.
Caution!
Do not use the Full Maintenance backup tape created in Performing a
Full Maintenance Backup” on Page 3-11 for this migration.
Procedure 3For all versions of CMS Release 3, the system administration data is
migrated via the R3 Migrate Data window.
Attempting to migrate system administration data more than once may
cause catastrophic errors from which recovery is difficult. Before a re-
migration of system administration data can be performed, CMS must be
turned off and a second setup of the CMS software must be performed.
1. Log in to CMS.
The CMS main menu is displayed.
2. Select System Setup - CMS State from the CMS main menu
and select the Single User Mode option
3. Insert the backup tape that contains the latest version of the admin
data into the tape drive on the new HA server.
4. Select the System Setup -> R3 Migrate Data option from the
CMS main menu.
The System Setup: R3 Migrate Data window is displayed.
