3. At the sys admin> prompt, type RESTORE and press <ENTER>. The SCS3230 will
prompt for confirmation to proceed with the parameter restore process. Type YES and
press <ENTER> to proceed. The system will ask for a second confirmation to proceed.
Type YES and <ENTER> to start the parameter restore process. After the second
confirmation, there is no text echoed to the screen indicating that the restore process is
proceeding.
4. Using the communications program, send the text file containing the backup records to
the SCS3230. Be sure to use text mode when transferring the file. The file download
should not take too much time; less than a minute is typical at 38.4K baud. After the
download is complete, the SCS3230 will re-zero all unused records. If a problem is
encountered during the text file transfer, the SCS3230 will abort the restore process and
return to the sys admin> prompt.
5. Once all unused records have been re-zeroed, the SCS3230 will reboot. Allow the
complete memory check to proceed; after it is done, log in as the sys admin at the
LCI3200> prompt.
6. The ConsoleServer is restored to its previous settings and is ready for use. Check that
all user, terminal, device, and other parameters are correct and acceptable.
4.2.3 To RESTORE from a 3200 to a 3230
Use a terminal emulation software on a PC connected to the sysadmin port of a 3200. Ensure
that software flow control (XON/XOFF) is turned on for the software.
1. Implement a capture to file.
2. type “backup”.
3. Wait until you see “$BACKUP COMPLETE”
4. edit the backup file and remove any information before the line which starts 0,… This is
probably the first line. Also remove the couple of lines that say $BACKUP COMPLETE. After
the backup there will be some extraneous information, this needs to be removed.
Copy the file to the 3230. This can be accomplished using pscp or scp
Log in to the 3230 and establish yourself as root.
Cd to /lci/bin
Step 1) Type ‘restore “file name” yes’
“file name” is the name of the file you just copied.
The last yes is needed if you want to be told what passwords the system is inserting for this
user. If you do not want to see the passwords, do not type anything.
Unless there is an issue, you will observe users being added to the system and any changes
that take place to the user name or password. If you receive a message about record number
being incorrect, the file is either corrupt from flow control or you have not edited out the
extraneous information that is in the file from doing the backup.
If the service multidrop is running you will be asked to stop it and told how to do so ‘type
“service multidrop stop”’. Goto step 1.
