Paradyne 6800 manual To migrate the NMS database, perform the following steps

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

The following databases will not be migrated:

•Reports/Trouble Tickets customized with 4GL or SQL

•The active alerts database will not be migrated as the Release 4.2 NMS generates up-to-date active alert data at start-up

Cleaning Up the Database

To ensure that those databases not migrated are rebuilt, the customer should back up any customized Trouble Tickets and Trouble/Inventory Reports to a removable medium.

Backing Up the Database

The NMS database must be backed up to a cartridge tape prior to migrating it from

Release 3.0/3.1 to Release 4.2:

1.From the 6800 NMS Main Menu, select Backup system database and follow the steps for performing a System Database Backup as indicated in Chapter 4 of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.

2.When the backup is complete and the 6800 NMS Main Menu is displayed, select Restore system database and follow the steps for performing a System Database Restore as specified in Chapter 4 of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide. This action will ensure that the tape produced by the backup in Step 1 is readable as the process of migration will destroy the existing 3.0/3.1 database on disk.

3.Do not proceed with the Migration until you have a valid, readable Backup.
