Procedure & Guidelines for Taking Backup &

Restoring Backup in LAGU NGTJ card

a. Taking Backup
For taking backup automatically, all LAG nodes must be discovered in LAGEMS.

Always add nodes through Manage Nodes option. Right Click on Map and Manage
nodes.

After discovery of nodes, Select EMS & Backup Restore option in EMS.
In this, lagdata.tar and Automatic/Manual will be seen. This means lagdata.tar
which are created automatically will be seen in the list of backup files having
Automatic. If backup is taken manually using then Manual will be seen.

If operator runs this command through Thin Client PC then after taking backup,
EMS will ask the path in

Thin Client PC and operator may select path in which operator wish to save
backup.

While taking Backup, Backup file will be saved in

/home/admin/AdventNet/WebNMS/Backup/Lag path in LAGEMS server.

In LAGEMS server, LAG IP Wise Backup folder will be saved.

In LAGEMS server *_A and *_M will be seen which means A for Automatically
and M for Manually.
Location of Backup Files in EMS and NGTJ card are as
follows:
EMS: /home/admin/AdventNet/WebNMS/Backup/Lag
NGTJ: /mmc/etc/BACKUP
Important Note: In LAGEMS server, LAG IP Wise Backup will be saved.

b. Restoring Backup

Note: For restoring Backup through EMS, give soft shutdown to standby copy first
then restore backup to NGTJ card. For this, login into card and give following
commands

# cd /mmc/etc
#. /lag_shutdown.sh 2

After discovery of nodes, Select EMS & Backup Restore option in EMS.
Select Restore from Thin Client and select files operator wish to restore and
restore.

The file will be sent to Thin Client PC at /mmc/etc/BACKUP folder

Then in NGTJ card run command lag_restore.sh

# cd /mmc/etc
# ./lag_restore.sh

This script will make active copy down.

Untar & copy required files at required path and make System UP.
Always run this command in active copy.

Manually make standby copy UP.

 B. Procedure for taking Backup in CACU :

Why it is required?
Backup can be taken on require basis for the CACU chassis in case any mis
configuration , data corruption or card mmc corruption. If backup is taken then
this backup can be restored and the exchange downtime will be less.
So it is always advisable to take the backup on regular basis.
In CACU system user can take back of following gateway applications:
1. V5 AG backup
2. PRIAG backup
3. TMG backup

4. MLS configuration backup

Procedure is as follows:
1. V5ag backup procedure
Following two files are need to be backup .Backup can be taken at the Thin client
and later on transferred to usb also.
I) CdotAgwDb.bin (This file has all the information of AI data and subscriber data)
ii) extensions.conf (This file has the information of C5 IP )
For Taking the Backup on Thin Client PC

Step 1

Login to Thin Client PC

Make a Directory as Backup on Desktop

Step 2

We are using the FTP utility for transferring the backup to thin client PC.
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands
$ cd /Desktop/Backup

$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
V5AG)

USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root

$ cd /mmc/ag
$ bi
$ ha
$ mget CdotAgwDb.bin
$ bye

Now, this file can be saved in the Backup folder in Thin Client PC or Pen drive for
restoring Backup file in case of Data /Card corruption.
ii) Similarly take the backup of file extensions.conf file.
extensions.conf from /mmc/etc/v5ag/ path of the NGTJ card. 2. PRIAG backup
procedure

Following two files are need to be backup .Backup can be taken at the Thin client
and later on transferred to USB also.
I) priag.conf (This file has all the information of PDDI created on the NGTJ card)
ii) Extensions.conf (This file has the information of C5 IP)
Step 1: We are using the FTP utility for transferring the backup to thin client PC.
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands

$ cd /Desktop/Backup
$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
PRI)
USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root

$ cd /mmc/etc/priag/
$bin
$ha
$ mget extensions.conf
$ bye
Note: extensions.conf file contains the SSIP of the core sbc.

STEP 2:
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands
$ cd /Desktop/Backup
$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
PRI)
USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root
$ cd /mmc/etc/priag/
$ bin
$ ha
$ mget priag.conf
$ bye

Note: extensions.conf file contains the SSIP of the core sbc.

For Restoring Backup from Thin Client PC to NGTJ Card (V5)

Step 1

Login to Thin Client PC

Go to Backup directory on Desktop

#cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop
#ssh root@<NGTJ card IP>

Default Password is root

#cd /mmc/ngtj
#./service ag stop
#exit

Step 2

We are using the FTP utility for transferring the backup to NGTJ card.
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands
$ cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/Backup

$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
V5AG)

USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root

ftp> cd /mmc/ag
ftp> bi
ftp> ha
ftp> mput CdotAgwDb.bin
ftp> bye

Now, this file has been saved in the Backup folder in NGTJ card.
Step 3

Login to NGTTJ card

#ssh root@<NGTJ card IP>

Default Password is root

#cd /mmc/ngtj
#./service ag start
#exit

Now your card is UP. Check AI status, Dial tone and all types of calls from and to
ANRAXs.
STEP 3. TMG Backup Procedure

Following file is need to be backup .Backup can be taken at the Thin client and
later on transferred to USB also.

I) cdot_tmg.cfg ( This file contains the all configuration data for TMG)
We are using the FTP utility for transferring the backup to thin client PC.
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands

$ cd /Desktop/Backup

$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
TMG)

USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root

$ cd /mmc/opt/tmg/etc/
$ bi
$ ha
$ mget cdot_tmg.cfg
$ bye
For Restoring Backup to CACU NGTJ Card from Thin Client
PC

Step 1

Go to Backup Directory in Thin Client PC and folder where Backup File is saved.

#cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/Backup
#ls
#ssh root@<Card IP>
Enter default password root
#cd /mmc/ngtj
#./service ag stop
#logout

Step 2

We are using the FTP utility for transferring the backup to thin client PC.
Open the terminal. Go to Backup folder using commands
$ cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/Backup

$ftp 10.178.84.147========> (IP address of NGTJ card in the CACU chassis having
V5AG)

USERNAME is root PASSWORD is root

$ cd /mmc/ag
$ bi
$ ha
$ mput CdotAgwDb.bin
$ bye
Step 3

Login into Card and give ag start

#ssh root@<Card IP>

Enter default password root
#cd /mmc/ngtj
#./service ag start
#./service ag fe ( This command should be entered after 5-10 minutes after ag
start.

From V5 Menu, select options 3, 2, 3, and 7, 1 for Display-AI-status for all

AN-RAXs.
