Use a Backup File to Set up a Source Server

In the event of a source server failure, the global adminis-
trator should designate a target server as the new source
server.

Set up a Target Server as a Source Server

1. Log in to the console of the target server designated as
the new source server.
2. In the System section of the console, go to the Backup/
Restore window and create a backup of the current
running configuration on that server.
3. Download the server's configuration to a safe storage
place until it is needed.
4. In the LAN Settings window (accessible via System >
Network), set up IP addresses to be the same as on the
source server that is being replaced.
5. Go to the Reboot window (accessible via System >
Control) and reboot the server.
6. Once the R3000 is rebooted, reconnect to the console
and access the Backup/Restore window.
7. Upload the last good configuration from the failed source
server to the new source server. When the configuration
file is uploaded and available in the R3000 console, that
file should be used for restoring configuration settings.
8. After the restoration of configuration settings is applied
and a quick reload takes place, this R3000 server will
now function as the source server in the R3000 cluster.
