The

Spacevars
0product
 EMA provides the ability to generate a system backup file. The user can restore the configuration files from the storage location. During this process, the system will restart and the user has to re-login, once the system is up and running. This is useful if you upgrade the
Spacevars
0product
 EMA and need to reload the old configurations.

SBC provides an option to upload back-up files from an external source. Earlier, due to security reasons, it was impossible to upload any back-up files to the SBC via EMA or EMA Platform Mode.

For any reason, if you wish to re-install the SBC Application, take a back-up of the application to restore it when needed. The back-up files can now be stored in an external source.

Re-installing a SBC system from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a tar.gz backup file may lead to loss of encrypted configuration parameters in the following scenarios:

  • re-installing a standalone SBC from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a "tar.gz" backup file
  • re-installing both nodes in an HA SBC pair from an ".iso" image followed by restoring SBC configuration from a "tar.gz" backup file

Activities like replacing a single node in an HA pair (as an RMA for example) or re-installing a single node in an HA pair at a time are safe. The node that has just been re-installed will take the current configuration from the active node.

For details please refer to Sonus Warning: Warning-17-00022737.

All the back-up files should start with the naming convention:

  • "config_<System_Name>_<File_Name>", and should end with ".tar.gz"

or

  • "auto_backup_config_<System_Name>_<File_Name>", and should end with ".tar.gz"

For example: "config_SBC001_BackupFile1.tar.gz" or "auto_backup_config_SBC001_BackupFile1.tar.gz".
