nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl — restore a full backup of the NNMi embedded database
Use the nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl script to restore a full backup of the NNMi embedded database. Create
the backup file required for the restore using the nnmbackupembdb.ovpl script. Because query planning
statistics are not backed up, these statistics are gathered as part of the restore procedure to ensure good database performance after a
restore.
If you plan to use the nnmbackupembdb.ovpl script to create a backup
of the NNMi embedded database, then use the nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl script to place embedded database
records on a second NNMi management server, both NNMi management servers must have the same type of operating system and NNMi version and
patch level.
Before running the nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl script, make sure the embedded database is empty. You can do
this by running the nnmresetembdb.ovpl script. If you do not clear the embedded database, the restore
procedure runs the nnmresetembdb.ovpl script for you and the restore fails if the
nnmresetembdb.ovpl script fails.
Do not run this script while NNMi is running unless you specify the -force option.
Only the nmsdbmgr process can (and must) be running when you run the
nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl script. You must be logged in as as administrator on
Windows systems or root on UNIX systems, to run this script.
-source <backup file>
The file to use when restoring the backup. This file must be a file that was created using the
nnmbackupembdb.ovpl script.
-force
If you provide this option, the script stops NNMi if it is currently running, then starts the
nmsdbmgr process.
-?|-h|-help
Display script usage.
Use this script to run a full database recovery when a restore from backup becomes necessary.
You will see these messages:
# nnmrestoreembdb.ovpl -source /backups/nnmDb.dump
WARNING: Running this command while NNMi is running will cause sporadic
failures in active sessions. Please ensure that only the nmsdbmgr
process is running when executing this command (ovstart nmsdbmgr).
