NMIC SYSTEM FILE REPLICATION
Summary: This procedure outlines the steps required for the user to replicate files from the
active NMIC card to the standby. File replication allows an administrator to copy files that were
changed. The administrator should be familiar with the Unix command structure and directories
before attempting to alter system files. Some files are not automatically written to both NMICs
and may need to be replicated. All configuration files accessed through the GUI are replicated on
both NMICs automatically.
1. From the GUI screen, select the Configuration pull down menu, NMIC Platform, and File
Replication using the left mouse button or by hitting Alt+C, Alt+M, and Alt+F. Refer to
Figure 722-1.
2. The System File Replication window appears. Refer to Figure 722-2. At the Filter window,
enter the directory that contains the files that need to be replicated.
Note: Only files that have been modified through the Unix platform need to be
replicated onto the standby NMIC.
3. The directory structure is shown in the directory window. When a directory is selected, the
files contained therein are displayed in the File(s) window below. These files may be
selected using the left mouse button to highlight them, and then selecting the directional
tool to move them to the File(s) to be Replicated window. Multiple files may be selected
from the various directories and replicated once all selections have been made. Use the
following criteria when replicating files in this location:
1) /etc Directory – This directory contains many system configuration files
requiring the discretion and careful handling to be used by a person who has
unix system administration knowledge. For most of these files, it is best not to
alter them.
Note: NEVER replicate the file named ‘hosts’ in this directory.
2) /cellworx Directory –
a) The following directories under /cellworx can be replicated between the
active and stand-by NMICs either by direct FTP or through the file replication
provided by the GUI.
Note: The stand-by NMIC does periodic automatic replication of the following
directories.
1. accounting
2. alarmHistory
3. performance
b) Any software images under ‘swImage’ can be replicated (via FTP or GUI),
provided that appropriate directories are created before an attempt of
replication is made.
