Installation & Operation Manual 44. Media Gateway Software Backup/Restore Procedures
44.4 Restoring the Media Gateway Software from
Backup
Restoring the Media Gateway software from a backup file is provided as a
precautionary measure and is intended for use in extreme cases only. Restoring the
Media Gateway software from a backup file requires restoration on both of the SC
boards, and, therefore, the entire system must be non-operational for this process.
Note: The Restore procedure must be performed on both of the SC boards.
The Basic IP Network Configuration is not part of the Software Backup and must be
manually updated to match the restored configuration prior to running the Restore
procedure described below. See 'Configuring the Basic IP Network Parameters of SC
Boards' on page 117 for details.
If current IP network configuration of the Mediant 8000 is different from the IP network
configuration at the time when backup was created (e.g. there is a difference in VLAN
tags or interface separation settings), Mediant 8000 may lose IP connectivity after
restoring the backup file. See 'Connecting the Media Gateway to the IP Network' on
page 178, for detailed instructions on how to update the network configuration.
Restoration of the Media Gateway software from the backup file may be performed via
the EMS GUI or, alternatively, via the command line interface (CLI).
To restore the Media Gateway software from the backup file via the EMS
GUI:
1. Click
to access Media Gateway status screen.
2. Lock the Media Gateway by clicking Lock in the Actions bar. Confirm that you
wish to lock the Media Gateway by clicking the Yes button in the displayed
screen.
3. Start the restore procedure by clicking Restore in the Actions bar; the Restore
Prompt information message is displayed.
