[cisco-voip] Backup of CCM

[Ryan Ratliff]

The 3.4GHz 7825-H1 or 7825-I1 are the only CM supported servers with  
SATA Raid.   Those are the guys that require OS 2000.4.1 to install  
with.

There were some older model 7825s with SATA Raid that were supported  
for Unity but not CM.

I have not seen the new 7825 CM servers but the 7825 Unity server  
HP3.4 now comes with two 80gig SATA drives running Raid 1.  I will  
know more next week as far as the CM 7825 servers.

We use Symantec Ghost, and Bart's PE Network boot (http://www.nu2.nu/ 
bootdisk/network/) disk. You may have to modify to the network driver  
files, but once done, boot to CD to load network drivers, map a drive  
to a network share that has the Ghost executable, run ghost and save  
the image to your network share. Then use the BARS utility to perform  
nightly backups. How often you image the server is up to you, but  
quarterly if possible. I agree it is much easier to utilize the 7835  
with Raid level one, all you have to do is rotate drives periodically.

Although it may be possible to add a second HDD to your 7820 and run  
Raid 1, we found it to be somewhat cost prohibitive.

Although Cisco probably won't tell you to use ghost, I can tell you  
that I use it as standard practice.
Before deploying on site at a customer, I always create a ghost image  
of the server as it appearred in staging and burn it to a DVD.

how are you doing ?

my advice is to use a 7835 /dl380 where you can but it is not always  
possible. BARS can be used to back up call manager configuration but  
not the OS and CCM application.

With a DL380 - once you have a stable config you can pull one disk in  
the raid and place it in the safe - when a disaster hits the box you  
can always pull the running disk after shutting the server - replace  
with the disk from the safe and boot from it and have a full working  
config. If you have frequent changes this will mean you loose some of  
your changes after the last RAID when you pulled the second disk.

7825 / dl320 -- BARS - good documented solution -- and maybe some  
ghosting software - I am not a server person so I don't really know  
what can be done

Hi,


I have a client who supplied DL320 to install CCM, I would like to  
know if cisco recommends me using ghost software to backup clients  
disk drive in case of server crash, or must I only use hot swappable ?


Kind Regards
