VSB Backup and Recovery

This chapter describes how to backup and recover a VSB, and includes the following sections:

Information About VSB Backup and Recovery

You can create a backup copy of a VSB and store it remotely to use as a recovery mechanism or when you need to move a VSB between Cisco Nexus Virtual Services Appliances.

Figure 6-1 shows the process for backing up and recovering a VSB.

Guidelines and Limitations

The following are guidelines and limitations to use when backing up and recovering a VSB:

  • Multiple export files may be created with this process. Do not change the file suffix for numbering purposes. If you change the prefix for one file, then you must change it for all.
  • You must shut down the VSB before creating the file to export.
  • The bootflash: export-import directory must be empty prior to either creating an export file or copying the file back from external storage.
  • Configuration files do not have enough information to re-create a VSM.
  • For periodic backups, VSB should be exported once (after connecting to vCenter Server) and only the VSM configuration should be periodically backup.

Configuring VSB Backup and Restoration

This section includes the following topics and procedures:

Flowchart: Backing Up and Restoring a VSB Configuration

You can use the following process for backing up and restoring a VSB configuration.

Exporting a Backup VSB Configuration

You can use the following procedures to create a backup copy of a VSB, store it remotely, and then re-import it to either recover a VSM or move a VSB between Cisco Nexus Virtual Services Appliances.

Creating a VSB Backup File

You can use this procedure to create a file for exporting a VSB.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:

  • You are logged in to the CLI of the Cisco Nexus Virtual Services Appliance in EXEC mode.
  • You know the name of the VSB for which you are creating a file to export.
  • You have verified that the bootflash: export-import directory is empty. If files are present in this directory, you must delete them before starting this procedure.
  • You must shut down the VSB that you want to backup before creating the file to export. This procedure includes a step for shutting down the VSB and then a step to restart the VSB after creating the file.

NoteMultiple files may be created. Do not change the file suffix for numbering purposes. If you change the prefix for one file, then you must change it for all.

Recovering a VSM with a Backup Configuration File

You can use this procedure to recover a VSM using a backup configuration file.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:

  • You have imported your backup copy of the configuration file using the Importing a VSB Backup File.
  • You have a copy of the VSM running configuration in remote storage.
  • You are logged in to the CLI of the Cisco Nexus Virtual Services Appliance in EXEC mode.
  • This procedure includes a step for updating Cisco Nexus 1000V licenses. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V License Configuration Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(5.1) .
  • This procedure requires you to shutdown the VSM management and control ports to prevent communication with VEMs and vCenter during the recovery. You need to know the IDs of the VSM control and management ports and the VSB serial port.
  • This procedure requires you to setup the VSM software. You need to have the following information available for the VSM VSB:

– Admin password

– Domain ID

– HA Role (must be set to the same role as that of the VSM on which it is imported)

– Management 0 IP address

– Management 0 netmask

– Default gateway IP address

For detailed information about setting up the VSM software, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Getting Started Guide, Release 4.2(1)SV1(5.1)

For detailed information about the vCenter server connection, see the

Step 1 From the Cisco Nexus Virtual Services Appliance, shut down the control and management interfaces of the VSM VSB.

config t
interface vethernet slot/port
shut
 
Example:

switch-1# config t

switch-1(config)# interface vethernet1/1

switch-1(config-if)# shut
 

The VSM management and control interfaces are no longer communicating with VEMs and vCenter.

Step 2 Verify that the control and management interfaces are down.
