Paradyne 6800 manual Introduction To Migrating Databases

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

NOTE

Database migration from a System Controller to Release 4.2 NMS is still possible but is outside the intent of this document. Contact your Field Service Representative for assistance in migrating from a System Controller.

CAUTION

If you are migrating from a host whose name is not unix or a UIP whose name is not uip-1,you must reinstall both UNIX and NMS on those processors. When reinstalling, you must specify the name(s) from the previous NMS. The NMS database contains the name of the processor, host or UIP, from which it received an alarm or alert. The name of the database must match the name(s) of the processor(s) currently connected to the NMS.

Introduction To Migrating Databases

The following sections explain how to migrate the NMS database from each of the following systems to Release 4.2 of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS:

•COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS (6820 or 6830) Release 1

•COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS (6820) Release 2

•COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS Release 3.x

•COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS Release 4.x

Although the specific procedures vary for each of these migration paths, the overall methodology is the same, and entails these four activities:

1.Cleaning up the database

2.Backing up the database

3.Migrating the database

4.Checking the migrated database

The remaining sections of this chapter provide detailed instructions for performing these activities for each migration path.
