The GUI is the expected interface to the product. The command file interface exists so that backup and restore functions can be submitted to a batch queue for execution at some other time. clearVISN Recovery Manager automatically generates the command files used by its command file interface. Components of clearVISN Recovery Manager clearVISN Recovery Manager consists of several components: • Image file—This file contains the clearVISN Recovery Manager program. • Script files—Script files contain backup and restore scripts written in the special clearVISN Recovery Manager language. • Master file—This file maps sysObjectIDs to device type to a backup script or a restore script. • MIB Master file—This file maps MIB names to their object identifiers (OIDs). • Online help files—Help files exist for every screen. Using clearVISN Recovery Manager You use clearVISN Recovery Manager to perform backup and restore operations. Performing a Backup Operation To perform a backup operation, (saving the configuration of a network device to a saved data file), use the following procedure: • Select (by IP/Community) a network device to be backed up. The device can be a module in a hub, a standalone module, or a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch. If the device is a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch, the Hub Manager and any of the modules within the hub can be selected. For supported devices, the backup subset options are displayed for the device (or devices, if a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch). • You then select the following: — full backup or the backup subset options available for the device — the filename for the saved data — optionally, the file name of the automatically generated command file • When you press the OK button, clearVISN Recovery Manager performs the selected backup operations. Status is written to a log file and displayed in the Status window. Performing a Restore Operation To perform a restore (from a saved data file to a network device), use the following procedure: • Select (by IP/Community) a network device to be restored. The device can be a module in a hub, a standalone module, or a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch. • Enter the filename that contains the saved data for the device. The device and the saved data file are compared to determine what restore operations can be performed and which restore subset options are available. (If a device has the following backup subset options—full, A, B, and C, and if you backed up only subsets A and C, then only A and C are available to be restored.) • You select which subsets (and which devices, if a hub) are to be restored. • Optionally, you can provide the file name of a clearVISN Recovery Manager command file to be generated. 2
