Backing Up And Restoring The Network Element Database - Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6130 Planning Manual

6-42 OAM&P description

Backing up and restoring the network element database

The OME6130 network element is responsible for the resilience of its
provisioning data. A primary and backup copy of the configuration and
provisioning data is stored on the flash disk on the 2x155/622M aggregate
circuit pack. This ensures that in the event of a failure, the system can still
recover on its own.
The user manages database backups from the Backup configuration and
Restore configuration applications in the Maintenance/Configuration
Management menu of the local craft access terminal. The applications allow
the user to manage backup copies of the network element database for each
network element within a network and restore the network element database to
an operational state following a system initialization.
Backup and restore operations can be performed remotely or locally from a
machine (server or PC). The remote operation uses FTP to move configuration
data between network elements and external backup repositories via a DCN.
A FTP server is required in order to perform remote backup and restore
operations onto the OME6130 network element. The local operation uses
HTTP to move configuration between the network element and an external
backup repository (laptop or desktop) locally connected to the Craft port.
