MnT node restore question

Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 2.1 - Backup and Restore Operations [Cisco Identity Service…

Restore a Monitoring Backup with a Monitoring Persona

You can restore a Monitoring backup in a distributed environment with only Monitoring persona.

Before You Begin

  • Purge the old monitoring data.
  • Schedule a backup or perform an on-demand backup.

Step 1  Prepare to deregister the node to be restored by assigning the Monitoring persona to another node in the deployment.

A deployment must have at least one functioning Monitoring node.

Step 2  Deregister the node to be restored.
Note  

Wait until the deregistration is complete before proceeding with the restore. The node must be in a standalone state before you can continue with the restore.

Step 3  Restore the Monitoring backup to the newly deregistered node.
Step 4  Register the newly restored node with the current Administration node.
Step 5 

Promote the newly restored and registered node as the PAN."


for Step 5, is it supposed to be primary MnT, not PAN? for a fully distributed deployment, each node has its own persona

Yes, you are correct that the restore will overwrite the existing data.

Yeah. I agree with you. It looks like an error due to copy-and-paste from the previous section.

Besides, we should be able to restore OPS backups directly to the active M&T node.

BTW, you may use the Feedback link on the page to provide the inputs directly to our doc team.

Got it thanks.

and a follow up question... if directly restor to active MnT, the restored Operational data get appended to the Active MnT current data or is going to be overwritten. I believe it's going to be overwritten by this restore. tks.

Yes, you are correct that the restore will overwrite the existing data.
