Overview
Lists the prerequisites and high-level steps to back up data from a source Catalyst Center VA and restore it to a target Catalyst Center VA, including network reachability and cloud backup server access requirements.
Use this procedure to back up the data from one Catalyst Center VA on Azure and restore the data onto another Catalyst Center VA on Azure.
This procedure provides a high-level overview of how you can back up the data from one (source) Catalyst Center VA on Azure and restore it to another (target) Catalyst Center VA on Azure. For detailed instructions, see the "Backup and Restore" chapter in the Cisco Catalyst Center Administrator Guide.
Before you begin
Make sure that you meet these prerequisites:
-
You have successfully deployed two Catalyst Center VAs on Azure with the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template.
-
Both Catalyst Center VAs are up and running.
-
The backup server is reachable from the source Catalyst Center VA and target Catalyst Center VA.
Procedure
| 1. | Back up the data from the source Catalyst Center VA to a backup server. |
|
| 2. | Bring up the target Catalyst Center VA that you want to restore the data to. |
|
| 3. | Connect the target Catalyst Center VA to the backup server. |
|
| 4. | Configure the backup server on the target Catalyst Center VA. |
|
| 5. | Restore the data to the target Catalyst Center VA. |
The data from the source Catalyst Center VA on Azure is successfully restored onto the target Catalyst Center VA on Azure.
