System-Wide Procedures
Data Backups
Regular backups are prudent IT practice. When you service hardware
components that directly aect user data paths, we highly recommend that you
rst back up all user data to external media.
Important: Extraordinary system hardware changes (such as replacing a
Controller) and software conguration changes (such as reseing the system to a
factory-fresh state) and all other modications not specically mentioned in this
document should only be aempted after consultation with Oracle Customer
Support. A backup of data should always be done prior to all but routine
maintenance actions.
Full system backups to external media must be performed when you want to
perform any of the following actions:
•
Remove a Drive Enclosure permanently from the Oracle FS System.
Note: You need not always perform a complete data backup to remove
Drive Enclosures from an Oracle FS System. However, prior to removal
make sure that all necessary resources have been migrated from the Drive
Enclosure and the system conguration is not located on the Drive
Enclosure. For more information, contact Oracle Customer Support.
•
Clear the system conguration. This action removes all user and system
data.
Caution: Before you clear the system conguration, consult with Oracle
Customer Support to avoid the risk of losing system conguration data.
To back up the system, refer to the documentation for your backup application.
Power Cycling
Contact Oracle Customer Support before power cycling an Oracle FS System
except in the event of an emergency, in which case, drop all power and then
contact Oracle Customer Support.
Contact Oracle Customer Support before touching any power cables or switches.
There are some situations where not power cycling the entire system is the
correct action.
For failure testing, do not power cycle individual components without rst
contacting Oracle Customer Support.
