Foglight Backup/DR

All,

Foglight 5.5.8.2

CentOS 5.5 x 64

I have until tomorrow afternoon to have fully documented (and tested!) a Foglight backup and DR process. The honest answer is I'm doing monthly running a mysql hot backup and save it on a NAS. I never even tested it. So it's probably a good idea.

Here is my understanding of the process-

FMS-

I should backup, tar/zip the folder of the application to the media.

To recover, "détarer" on the new server with the same name of host/IP address and replace the init.d files

MySQL

Backup, just run a normal backup of MySQL.

To restore, reinstall the same version of mysql on a box with the same host/IP name and restore the database from backup.

Any other input here?

Do google on mysql (sqldump) export.

You can export it to from your current database and import it to the new MySQL instance.

  • IBM Websphere followed in Foglight

    Hi all

    We got a new requirement for Websphere App Server monitoring. It requires an agent manager of Java EE deployment that is created after the installation of the cartridge of Java on the server.

    In websphere, we have four profiles viz: admin officer, independent, server, domain manager and federated mode... These are the things that we have in the Agent Properties.

    Please tell us about profiles and the need for them and also the beginning of the required scripts...

    Kind regards

    Guenoun

    I think that it is correct.

    My recommendation is to save your startup script (foglight backup scripts anyway, but it gives them long names and it may be easier to save them as .orig or .bak).

    The names of scripts are referenced in the documentation

    "

    Locate your specific profile startServer, startNode or StartManager script. Save a backup copy before you continue.

    "

    The windows service is specific to a case described in the documentation of use

  • Foglight 5.6.5 | Backup management

    Hello

    We use foglight 5.6.5 we want to monitor backup devices. like availability, error, jobs, etc...

    Please tell me, what is the name of cartridge that is supported for foglight 5.6.5?

    Thank you

    Christopher F

    There is no cartridge 'out of the box' for this.

    You can add in fact default monitoring features of Foglight with utility officials, one of them (logfilter) monitors especially newspapers and another (appmonitor) monitors the process http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/w/admins-wiki/5646.monitoring-application-availability-using-foglight-utility-agents.

    Everything that has an existing script or a command line interface (shell, perl script, java script, etc.) can be monitored using a script agent (enough of wrapping this script and send the output to the Foglight Server).

  • Measures to restore the Foglight Management Server

    Hi team,

    I have FMS version 5.6.5 and I've updated to 5.6.10...

    I want to know the steps to restore an earlier version of FMS 5.6.5 and also data bases.

    I use SQLSERVER based FMS.

    I have not found good in any documentation, e-docs.

    To restore the previous Foglight installation directory:
    1
    CD to the directory where you want to install Foglight.
    2
    If the backup of the old installation is not compressed, go to step 3. If the backup is a ZIP file, unzip it first:
    gunzip /. tar.gz
    3
    If the backup of the old installation is a archive (.tar file), extract it. Use the following syntax:
    tar xvf .tar
    The former Foglight installation directory is now restored.

    I'm not understanding the steps above, which is given in the e - doc

    Please give me correct steps

    Hello

    to return to an earlier version, you will need to make a backup of both files in the FMSHOME and the content of the database.

    Restore the files (for example for a copied folder or non-archivage that you archived before), don't forget to restore the database (edocs explains mysqldump works I think, other databases need to follow their respective instructions).

  • Problem with the rules after upgrade of the VM in foglight cartridge

    Hello

    There is a small problem with the rules after that I updated the VM cartridge level.

    In the default rules, I changed a few settings so that they will act as I need.

    However, each time I upgrade VM cartridge my rules are off and marked as backup.

    The question is: is there a way to upgrade the cartridge and keep my active rules after upgrading?

    Best regards

    Victor

    This is the normal behavior according to this KB article

    • Title

      Backup rules fill in the dashboard management rule after Foglight upgraded
    • Description

      After that an upgrade of Foglight was conducted, several backup rules are created for rules that have been published before the upgrade. For example:

      Cluster VMW IO network
      Cluster VMW IO network (backup)

    • Resolution

      During the upgrade procedure, the FMS has detected that some of the original rules have been changed in some way. It copies the rules previously upgraded in backups, before trying to merge the contents of the update rule in the former.

      Assuming that the FMS works as expected, the rules of backup can be deleted. However, it is best to confirm this in the respect of the rules first before making deletions.

      When editing rules, particularly rules OOTB (out of the box), it is recommended to copy the original rule, disable the original rule and edit the copied rule. This should reduce the risk of the problem described in this Article.

  • Create, save data backup

    Hello

    This is probably a fairly common question, but I looked around and either did not answer or did not understand them. I honestly don't know who. So, without further ADO, here is my question.

    My iPhone becomes quite comprehensive, so I was thinking about the removal of some of the games I have on it to make room for the new. I have a few save data on the apps that I would still be there when the application is downloaded again later. Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    App data is stored in the backups of iOS - iTunes or iCloud.

  • iPhone restore backup encryption bug in iTunes

    First the details of my system:

    El Capitan 10.11.6

    iPhone iOS 6 10.0.2

    iTunes 12.5.1.21

    Steps to reproduce:

    1 backup the by using the encrypted password (current running iOS 10) iPhone

    2. once the backup is complete change password encrypted from A to B

    3. restore the iPhone using the backup.

    The backup cannot be restored with A password or password B.

    I think that most people would say I forgot the password B. You would be a mistake. Password B was stored in my keychain and it wouldn't work. To check that I had the correct password, I downloaded a password free utility cracking. For some reason, these utilities are available for Windows only. I used the utility of tenorshare. Since I was sure I knew the password, I used boxes of prefix and suffix of the utility to verify that the password is correct. The utility shows you only the first 2 characters of your password once he finds her. Since I am sure that I knew the password, I put the first 7 characters of the password in the prefix box password and he assumes that the last of them (which I knew that). Then I put the first 6 characters of the password in the prefix area of password and the last character in the zone suffix and guess the second to the last character (which I knew that too). In both cases, he finds the password, which confirmed that all my characters were correct, but iTunes would not accept. At this point, I was convinced this is an Apple bug, so I googled some more and found this blog https://deciphertools.com/blog/ios-10-backup-password-incorrect/ which confirms:

    "If you recently changed your password backup in iTunes, and iTunes is now reports that 'the password was incorrect' when you try to restore this backup, then we may be able to help."

    There is a small problem affecting backups iOS 10 - sometimes changing password causes backup the password being rejected (both new and old passwords) when you try to use the backup that you did. »

    I was able to solve my problem of password associated with the procedure.

    My backup was too important to wait for a solution possible iTunes. Apple should recognize this problem and have a fix as soon as POSSIBLE.

  • no possible backup - lost connection

    Hi all

    just try to create a backup of my iPhone (iOS 10.0.2) using iTunes (12.5.1) on an iMac (mid2010)

    the problem I keep running into is the following: phone is connected via the port USB iTunes recognizes it and the connection is stable. As I try to start the backup on my mac the phone responds and shows the rotation arrows on the top of the screen to indicate that a backup is in progress, but after that 5 seconds iTunes tells me that apparently, the connection was interrupted and the backup may not be completed. I did a backup but i´d like having directly on my drive. any ideas? THX

    pimpdanjo

    I am happy that you said that you use iTunes 12.5.1, as this is required to connect to iOS 10.

    Open iTunes, and then in the menu of iTunes, produce (iTunes on Mac or Windows) > Preferences > devices.  Looking for an iPhone backup here.  If you find one, remove it and then start the backup process again.

    My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.
