1. Login to NCM server from which you want to take the backup of database, and then set the VOYENCE_HOME environment variable.

    For example, in Linux, execute the following command:

    source /etc/voyence.conf

  2. Take the backup of database by using the backup.pl script under the <VOYENCE_HOME>/tools directory.

    The script creates a “backup-image-.*.tgz” file under the VOYENCE_HOME>/data-image directory.

    Note:

    If you have Smarts Adapter configured with SMARTS IP and SAM, the backup.pl script will also backup the Smarts Adapter data.

  3. Copy the “backup-image-.*.tgz” file to a host where a new NCM Combination setup is installed. The backup file can be copied under any directory.

  4. Login to the new NCM server setup, and then execute the following command:

    source /etc/voyence.conf

  5. Execute the following command from the <VOYENCE_HOME>/tools directory if you are restoring database across the same NCM version:

    perl restore.pl <Absolute path to backup image file /backup-image-.*.tgz>

  6. Execute the following command from the <VOYENCE_HOME>/tools directory if you are restoring database on higher NCM version:

    perl restore.pl <Absolute path to backup image file /backup-image-.*.tgz> --force

  7. Update the InfraDB entry with the Device server host name. To update the InfraDB entry, perform the following steps:

  8. From the <VOYENCE_HOME>, execute the following command:

    \cgi-bin\cflist.cgi > cflist.txt

  9. Edit the cflist.txt to change the Device server FQDN to the new Device server FQDN (Same as Combination server FQDN).

    For example, POP 1000 “<hostname>”

  10. Execute the following command. It must return 'Status: 200 Success'.

    \cgi-bin\cfwrite.cgi < cflist.txt

  11. To update the Device server FQDN in cm_device_server table in the database, do the following:

  12. Login to NCM UI, and then navigate to Tools > System Administration > Global > Access > Device Servers.

  13. Select the Device server, and then click Edit.

  14. In the Edit Device Server window, click OK.

    Or,

    Run the following command from [Product directory]\db\controldb\bin: 

    psql.exe -h -d voyencedb -U pgdba -p 5435 -c "update cm_device_server set device_server_name='Device_Server_name';"

  15. If you have Smarts Adapter configured in your previous NCM setup, follow these steps:

    On Linux

  16. Stop the NCM Smarts Adapter service.

    service ncmsmartsadapter stop

  17. Change the directory to $VOYENCE_HOME/NCMSmartsAdapter/.

  18. Open and edit the prodDb.script file, so that VOYENCE_CONFIGURATION table and SMARTS_CONFIGURATION table is populated with actual AS host name, as follows:

  19. Search for

    INSERT INTO VOYENCE_CONFIGURATION VALUES (1,4,TRUE,'auth.conf','2','10000','linbgh125.lss.vmware.com','jUpFF0M5HQuOdJUqIYKo0w==','sysadmin')

  20. Replace the old Application server host name with new Application server host name.

    For example, replace 'linbgh125.lss.vmware.com' with '<new Application server host name>'.

  21. Search for

    INSERT INTO SMARTS_CONFIGURATION VALUES (1,5,'aced0005757200135b4c6a6176612e6c616e672e537472696e673badd256e7e91d7b4702000078700000000274000e494e4348415247452d414d2d504d74000353414d','10.31.202.131',426,NULL,'z/RS9si+EWVsdA8kxzEovg==','SAM','linbgh131.lss.vmware.com','10.31.202.131','z/RS9si+EWVsdA8kxzEovg==','46499','admin',TRUE,'admin','linbgh125.lss.vmware.com')

  22. Replace the old Application server host name with new Application server host name.

    For example, replace 'linbgh125.lss.vmware.com' with '<new Application server host name>'.

  23. Open and edit the prodDb.script file, so that TOPOLOGY_SYNC table is populated with actual DS host name, as follows:

  24. Search for

    INSERT INTO TOPOLOGY_SYNC VALUES (1,43,120,300,TRUE,TRUE,200,'INCHARGE-AM-PM','DisplayName','Active Sync On',NULL,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,'linbgh127.lss.vmware.com','1000','Derived','IP Devices','Run Upon Approval')

  25. Replace the old device server host name with the new device server host name.

    For example, replace 'linbgh127.lss.vmware.com' with '<new Device server host name>'.

  26. Stop the NCM Smarts Adapter service.

    sc stop VcSmarts (DOS command)

  27. Change the directory to %VOYENCE_HOME%/NCMSmartsAdapter/.

  28. Open and edit the prodDb.script file, so that VOYENCE_CONFIGURATION table and SMARTS_CONFIGURATION table is populated with actual AS host name, as follows:

  29. Search for
