REBOOTING THE SYSTEM USING A SAVED OR DEFAULT DATABASE
Summary: The following procedure defines the steps required to reboot the system using the
database files previously stored from the NMIC, or clearing all existing database files and
restarting the system from scratch. The database files can be used to restore a system if a
catastrophic failure occurs and database corruption is imminent. Refer to DLP-745 for
procedural information on saving the existing database. Section A below steps the user through
the process of FTP'ing remote files to a tmp directory on the NMIC and rebooting using these
files. Section B steps the user through the process of rebooting the system using a backup
database previously stored on the NMIC in the config directory. For rebooting using the default
system database and rediscovering the system from scratch go to section C below.
A. FTP REMOTE DATABASE FILES TO THE NMIC AND REBOOT THE SYSTEM

killall -9 nmic ftpClnt
4. Telnet to the active NMIC using the NMIC specific IP address.
5. Execute the following command to stop all processes running on active NMIC.
killall psm
6. Execute the following command to force the active NMIC processes to die.
killall -9 nmic ftpClnt
7. Enter the following command to change to the directory where the database files are stored
on the active NMIC.
cd /cellworx/config
8. Enter the following command to save off the corrupted NMIC db in case it is needed later:
