Backing up Data on the Management Server
OVO provides two methods for backing up data on the OVO management
server:
❏ Offline Backup
opc_backup
❏ Automatic Backup
ovbackup.ovpl
Redistributing Scripts to All Managed Nodes
OVO configuration data is stored on the management server and the
managed nodes. If the restored configuration on the management server
does not match the current configuration on a managed node, errors
relating to missing instructions or incorrectly assigned templates may
occur. After you have restored a backup, you should redistribute the
templates, action, command and monitor scripts to all managed nodes
using the Force Update option.
About Backup and Recover Tools
When recovering data, use the recover tool corresponding to the backup
tool originally used to back up the data. For example, use opc_recover
to restore data backed up with opc_backup. Use ovrestore.ovpl to
recover data backed up with ovbackup.ovpl. And so on.
About Archive Log Mode in Oracle
Archive log mode is mode used by Oracle to save data automatically
and periodically. Changes to data files stored in redo log files. These
redo log files are subsequently archived. For more information about
archive log mode and redo log files, see the Oracle documentation. To find
out how to set up archive log mode in OVO, see “Maintaining a
Database” on page 537, as well as the OVO Administrator’s Guide to
Online Information.
