Backing Up and Restoring System Management and Maintenance
Polycom, Inc. 365
5 In the DMA USB Configuration Utility window, click Copy a Backup to
the USB Stick.
6 Select the backup file from which you want to restore the system and
click Open.
The utility displays an error message if the file isn’t a valid Polycom DMA
system backup. Otherwise, it confirms that the backup file is in place.
The utility’s main window states that The USB stick is ready to restore
the system from a backup file. At the bottom of the window, it displays
information about the selected backup file.
7 Close the utility.
8 In your system tray, click Safely Remove Hardware and select Safely
Remove USB Mass Storage Device. When a message tells you it’s safe to
do so, disconnect the USB memory stick from the PC and take it to the data
center housing the Polycom DMA system server(s).
9 Make sure that the server or servers are turned off. Then insert the USB
stick into a USB port on one of the servers and turn that server (but not
the other, if there are two) on.
The server boots and the data in the backup file is applied. Typically, this
takes about five minutes. Depending on the configuration changes being
applied, the server may reboot so the changes can take effect.
10 If this is a two-server cluster, after the first server has rebooted (if
necessary) and its front-panel LCD displays DMA Ready, turn on the
second server.
The second server boots, finds the first server, and syncs to it, thus being
restored to the same state. Depending on the configuration changes being
applied, it may reboot so the changes can take effect.
When done, both servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered.
