This section is intended to assist system administrators to back up and restore the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager database and configuration files.

Overview

There are many reasons for performing system backups on a regular basis. While it is usually assumed that backups are necessary only in cases of disk crashes or other physical disasters, most such cases are application-related. For example:

•User mistakes

•Application bugs

•Power failure

•Disk corruption

•Any other kind of physical disaster

To restore Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager data, stop the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager service before restoring the database, configuration files, branding and sound files. Restart the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager service after restoration is complete.

Backing Up the Database

The database backup procedure supports MySQL database version 4.0.21. This section describes how to back up MySQL database version 4.0.21.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Open a DOS window and modify the current directory so that the default path points to the MySQL bin directory.

The default MySQL installation path is:

C:\Program Files\MySQl\mysql-4.0.21-win\bin

Step 2 Run the following DOS command to dump the contents of the MySQL database to a file called mydump:

mysqldump -u root --all-databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction > mydump

where

•-u root indicates that the user account "root" is used to run this command. "Root" is the default administrator created during MySQL installation.

•--all-databases means that all databases are to be backed up.

•--add-drop-table ensures that drop table SQL statements are generated for every dumped table.

•--single-transaction ensures that you do not need to stop the MySQL service when you back up the database.

•By default, you do not need to provide a password for local "root" login. However, if you change the root user password, you should add the text "-p password" to the command line. For example:

mysqldump -u root -p rootpassword --all- databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction >mydump

Step 3 Save the mydump file to a safe location.

Backing Up Configuration Files

This section describes how to back up the following files by copying them to a different physical location:

•Database Connectivity Property File

•Configuration Files

•LDAP Configuration Files

•Network Manager Configuration Files

•Backing Up Branding and Sound Files

Database Connectivity Property File

Place the mysql-ds.xml file under the JBOSS_HOME\server\all\deploy directory where JBOSS_HOME is the hold directory of the JBOSS application server used in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.

By default, JBOSS_HOME is C:\Program Files\Cisco\Unified Videoconferencing Manager\CUVCMRMjboss.

---

Note This is the default JBOSS_HOME directory for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager version 5.1. For older versions, the JBOSS_HOME directory may be different.

---

Configuration Files

Place the following files under the directory JBOSS_HOME\bin:

•vcs-cdr-config.xml

•vcs-config.xml

•vcs-core.properties

•vnex.properties

LDAP Configuration Files

Place the following files under the directory JBOSS_HOME\bin\configFiles:

•All files (if any) under this directory.

Network Manager Configuration Files

Place the following under the JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy\vcs.ear\nms.war\WEB-INF\classes\ directory

•adminconfig folder

•config folder

Backing Up Branding and Sound Files

Back up all files (if any) located under the JBOSS_HOME\server\all\deploy\branding.war\image directory to a different physical location.

Backing Up the License

Go to My Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Cisco > Resource Manager component of CUVC-M\4.0" directory, and save the value under "license".

Backing Up the Internal Gatekeeper Configuration File

Go to the Web interface of the internal gatekeeper on port 8011 and click Export to save the configuration files of the internal gatekeeper.
