Backing up and Restoring eG Enterprise
Backing up and Restoring eG
Enterprise
This chapter outlines the procedures involved in backing up and restoring eG Enterprise on Windows
and Unix environments.
5.1 Backing up and Restoring the eG Manager on Unix
Environments (Linux and Solaris)
To backup and restore the eG manager on Unix environments, do the following:
1. Tar the /opt/eGurkha directory and save it in a convenient location.
2. To restore the eG manager to the same host from which the backup was taken, untar the eGurkha
directory to the /opt directory.
3. If you restore the eG manager to a different host, first, untar the eGurkha directory to the /opt
directory, and then, check whether the IP/host name of the new host is different from the old
manager host. If so, run the reset_manager and reset_agent scripts from the /opt/egurkha/bin directory,
and change the IP/host name of the eG manager to that of the new host. Also, replace the old eG
manager license with a new license generated for the new IP address/hostname.
4. After restoring, check whether the /opt/egurkha/manager/tomcat/webapps/final/WEB-INF/lib is a soft link
to /opt/egurkha/lib. To perform this check, execute the following command from the command
prompt:
ls -alt /opt/egurkha/manager/tomcat/webapps/final/WEB-INF/
5. If the result of this command includes the following statement, then it indicates that the soft link
exists.
lib -> /opt/egurkha/lib
6. If not, first, remove the directory /opt/egurkha/manager/tomcat/webapps/final/WEB-INF/lib.
7. Next, create a soft link using the following command:
ln -s /opt/egurkha/manager/tomcat/webapps/final/WEB-INF/lib /opt/egurkha/lib
8. Finally, restart the eG manager.
