We are on RSA L&G 7.0 P05 Appliance using RSA supplied db. There is a weekly VM snapshot backup in place. Would like to know what would be the procedure to restore the backed up VM snapshot into a new server (with a different host & IP). The aim is to replicate the same environment on a different server.
The Importing AVUSER Schema/Data for a customer supplied database restoration/load section of the documentation applies here. You arent restoring the database itself but the master key data needs to be restored on the VM so it can properly communicate with the Oracle database.
Unzip the master key data in the master key storage directory.
This is the data that was zipped up in the procedure described in "Export the AVUSER
Schema/Data for an RSA Database Backup." (The master key storage directory is identified by
the rsavialg.security.keydir environment variable. The default directory is /home/oracle/security.)
Note: In a clustered environment, if separate copies of the key data are stored on each cluster
node, then only one copy of a key data (any node's key data) needs to be backed up as all areas
should contain the same key data. However, when reinstalling the data , if a node has a local
directory specified for storage of keys, then the key data should be reinstalled to each of these
local directories (as specified by the rsavialg.security.keydir environment variable which each
node has set).
