3.2. Restore from Backup
Red Hat Network database control is used to restore the embedded database from a backup.
Procedure 3.2. Restoring the Embedded Database from Backup
- Stop the RHN Satellite Server server using the
stopcommand:rhn-satellite stop
- Switch to the Oracle user, and restore the backup using the
db-controlutility:su - oracle db-control restore [directory]
Replace directory with the absolute path to the location that contains the backup. This process will verify the contents of the backup before restoring the database. The process will take several minutes. - Switch back to the root user, and start the Satellite:
exit rhn-satellite start
- Regardless of whether you are backing up an external or embedded database, when the satellite is restored from a backup, the following command should be run to schedule the restoration of search indexes the next time the
rhn-searchservice is started:/etc/init.d/rhn-search cleanindex
