Note: The Media Gateway software on both SC boards must be stopped (via the
tools sc dn command) prior to proceeding to the next step. If you attempt to restore
the backup file on the Standby SC board, while the Active SC is still operating, the
restored configuration database will be erased by the replication mechanism.
4. On the SC board in Slot 1 (designated to be Active board), change the current
directory to the place where the backup file is stored (typically, the home
directory of the CLI user that you used to perform the file transfer) and type the
following commands to start the restore process:
client238::~# cd /data/acladmin
client238::~# chmod u+x backup_12jan2009.bk
client238::~# ./backup_12jan2009.bk
