Cluster Upgrades, Backup And Restore; Clustering And Findme - Cisco TelePresence Administrator's Manual

Cluster upgrades, backup and restore

Upgrading a cluster
Instructions for upgrading and downgrading clusters are contained in
deployment guide.
Backing up a cluster
The backup and restore process can be used to save and restore cluster configuration information.
The backup process saves all configuration information for the cluster, regardless of the VCS used to make
the backup.
Restoring a cluster
You cannot restore data to a VCS that is a part of a cluster.
To restore previously backed up cluster configuration data you must follow this process:
1. Remove a VCS peer from the cluster so that it becomes a standalone VCS.
2. Restore the configuration data to the standalone VCS.
3. Build a new cluster using the VCS that now has the restored data.
4. Take each of the other peers out of their previous cluster and add them to the new cluster. See
cluster for more information about adding and removing cluster peers.

Clustering and FindMe

Clustering supports the use of FindMe. The configuration options available to the VCS administrator depend
upon whether or not the VCS is using the
information.
TMS Provisioning Extension services in use
When the VCS is using the TMS Provisioning Extension FindMe service, the VCS administrator can only
view the FindMe account information that is being supplied via the FindMe service (by going to
Applications > TMS Provisioning Extension services > FindMe > ...
All FindMe account information is managed within TMS.
TMS Provisioning Extension services not in use
When the TMS Provisioning Extension services are not in use (the VCS is either running in "standalone
FindMe" mode, or is still in TMS Agent legacy mode), FindMe accounts can be managed on the VCS:
The VCS administrator can create or edit users' FindMe account information. The changes can be made on
n
any peer in the cluster and any modifications are replicated to all other peers.
You must define a Cluster name if you are using FindMe, even if the VCS is not part of a cluster.
n
If the system is in TMS Agent legacy mode and you change the Cluster name after creating your user
n
accounts, you will have to reconfigure those accounts to associate them with the new cluster name. You
can do this by running the transferfindmeaccounts script. Instructions for how to do this are
contained in VCS Cluster creation and maintenance deployment
