Chapter

1Backup and Restore Services Description

This chapter provides a description of the Backup and Restore (BAR) services available for ASTRO® 25 systems.

Functional Description

ASTRO® 25 system Backup and Restore (BAR) services provide mechanisms to back up and restore important files.

A BAR server works in tandem with BAR client software to provide the means to back up and restore data forworkstations and server devices in the radio system. The server that provides the BAR function exists as a singlevirtual machine on a Virtual Server host. The Virtual Server host runs on the ESXi operating system. The server thatprovides the BAR function runs on the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® operating system.

Two levels of functionality are available:

• Baseline functionality: This level is standard with ASTRO® 25 systems. It supports only the following ASTRO®

25 system BAR clients:

- Domain controllers- Authentication Center (AuC) server, if this feature is implemented in the system- Linux-based Network Management servers and zone controllers- Linux-based BAR client for backing up the baseline BAR server itself- Packet Data Gateway

• Full functionality: This level supports all BAR clients in ASTRO® 25 systems. It is an optional feature that canbe implemented on a new system or added as an expansion to an existing system. This table indicates whether fullBAR functionality is required in order for the device to be a BAR client.

Note: In an expansion to full functionality Backup and Restore, the Baseline Backup and Recovery virtualmachine will be removed from its virtual server.

Common Server Architecture – Virtual Management Server Host

With the Common Server Architecture feature, PNM server applications are hosted by Virtual Management Serverhardware and software. Each PNM server application in the Common Server Architecture runs on a VirtualManagement Server (VMS) host, in a Virtual Machine (VM) environment under the Linux/ESXi operating systemsupported by VMware.

The BAR Server application (providing backup and restore services) is hosted by Virtual Management Serverhardware and software where the BAR server application runs on a Virtual Management Server host (HP DL380), ina Virtual Machine environment under the Linux/ESXi operating system supported by VMware.

For an overview of the zone core server architectures, see the Master Site – Infrastructure manual.

2Backup and Restore Services Theory of Operation

This chapter explains how the centralized Backup and Restore service works in the context of your system.

Role of Centralized Backup in System Recovery

Local system backups require manual access to individual system devices, making local backups time intensive, andcumbersome. Centralized system backups reduce the effort required to manage system data backup and restoreoperations.

In the recovery of a device, the software and configuration data are loaded first, followed by the volatile data that waspreviously backed up. If the volatile data was backed up centrally, the data can be restored remotely. This actionreduces the time and effort required, compared to a local data restoration process. For more information regardingvolatile data, see Data Backup and Restore Service on page 28.

A long-term solution for recovery should include:

• Implementation of standard operating systems and operating system configurations of devices within the radionetwork.

• A media server that can restore dynamic files stored on each system. See Backup and Restore Clients in ASTRO25 Systems on page 27.

Backup and Restore Service

The centralized data Backup and Restore (BAR) service collects and stores volatile data from supported devices at thesame location. Later, the backed-up data can be restored to the device in the event of a disaster that necessitatesrecovery of the device. To perform these functions, the BAR Client software must be installed on the device.

Important: The MKM 7000 Console Alias Manager (CAM) Server may be a supported BAR clientoutside the master site. Other devices are supported BAR clients only at the master site. Devices other thanthe CAM Server which reside at a remote site, such as an NM/Dispatch site, are not supported BAR clients.Therefore, do not install the BAR client on these additional devices. The BAR server does not have thecapacity to manage these additional devices.

Backup and Restore Clients in ASTRO 25 SystemsThis section lists devices that can be BAR Clients and operating systems for each. The table indicates whether fullBAR functionality is required in order for the device to be a BAR client.

Data Backup and Restore Service

The Backup and Restore Service backs up volatile data received from devices in the same location as identified forbackup and loaded with the BAR Client software. Volatile data is defined as any information that cannot be derivedfrom any other service or device in the system.

Back up critical data locally or in a central location on a regular basis, so that the device can be recovered after dataloss. Non-critical data (data not needed for the operation of the device but useful for forensic purposes) should also bea part of a centralized backup, although it cannot be part of the centralized restore of the device. You can access thebacked-up, non-critical data directly at the central BAR server storage location, or from an offline backup archivelocation. See Restoring Data from the BAR Backup on Windows Devices on page 68.

A BAR server setting controls the number of backups that are stored for each client. If corrupted data is backed up,having multiple backups stored at the server increases the opportunities to restore a device.

Data from both full and partial backups is stored as a full copy on the server, what provides faster recovery thanincremental backups would provide.

Note: When a Backup and Restore (BAR) client registers with the BAR server, a default backup scheduleis generated. See Backup Bandwidth and Frequency for BAR Clients on page 58.

Backup SchedulingYou can select the following options when scheduling a data backup:

• Device you want to back up• Time that the backup is to occur• Frequency of backups from that device• Maximum network transfer speed for the backup• Whether the backup is recurring or one-time• Whether the backup is full or incremental

Note: If a full backup is chosen, then all data requiring backup is transmitted to the central backup storagelocation. If incremental backup is chosen, then only data that has changed since the last backup istransmitted. This reduces the amount of data that must be transmitted over the local network connection.

Data in the central backup location can be periodically archived to the offline storage NAS as part of a recovery planfor the ASTRO® 25 system. For a detailed disaster recovery process, see the Virtual Management Server Softwaremanual.

Data Recovery Service

Data recovery is needed before a device can return to operational status after an event that caused the device to fail orlose data critical to operation. The Backup and Restore (BAR) Service can restore backed up data to devices that:

• Have BAR Client software installed• Are registered with the BAR server• Have backup schedules

The BAR Client computes the amount of free disk space on the device being restored to ensure that there is enoughspace to recover the requested data. This computation includes a buffer of 20%.

To prevent overwriting of the current data in the standard backup location, the data is restored to a different location.The following folders are used for data restore:

• Windows devices: system drive>\restore• Red Hat Enterprise Linux devices: /restoreAfter the BAR service restores data to the devices default location, there may be additional procedures that arespecific to that device to move the data into its operational area. If additional procedures are needed, they areindicated in the manual specific to that device.

You can select the following options when executing a data restore:

• Device you want to restore• The specific backup instance to be restored

The data you want to restore can be retrieved directly from the centralized BAR server storage or from offline mediastorage (offline storage NAS or ISO). If this data is in offline media storage, then you are prompted to load thebackup data from the offline archive, as part of the restore operation.

The data restore is transmitted to the device being recovered and stored in the standard restore location. The restoreuses standard protocols for communication and transfer of data between the centralized BAR server and the device

being restored. Restore operations happen at full network speed by default, the maximum speed the network allows aparticular device.

Security Protocol Considerations for the Backup and Restore Service

The BAR client software only operates in secure mode.

In order to enable secure registration, backup, and restore operations, the following processes are required:

• Provisioning SSH host keys• Provisioning SSH client keys (if your organization’s policies require disabling the default BAR client registration

keys)

See appropriate procedures in the Securing Protocols with SSH manual.

Registration of BAR Clients After SSH ConfigurationIt is recommended that Backup and Restore (BAR) clients be registered with the BAR server before and after SSHconfiguration.

Also, after SSH key rotations, you can test new SSH keys that you provision to BAR Clients by registering the BARClients with the BAR server. For instructions, see:

• Registering and Enabling Linux BAR Clients on page 39• Registering and Enabling Windows BAR Clients Manually on page 41

Registering and Enabling Linux BAR ClientsThe Backup and Restore feature operates in secure mode on Linux-based devices in an ASTRO® 25 system.Therefore, procedures for Linux-based BAR clients in the Securing Protocols with SSH manual must be performedeven if SSH is not being enabled throughout your system. This includes provisioning host keys to the BAR clientsand also, if required by your organizations policies, provisioning SSH client keys to the BAR clients.

A BAR Client must register with the BAR server after being installed, which requires the BAR service to beavailable. When the BAR service is operating, the BAR clients periodically register at the BAR server (about every 2hours), or they can be registered manually using this procedure. This procedure applies to devices in ASTRO® 25systems that support centralized Backup and Restore (BAR).

Note:

This procedure does not apply to Solaris-based ISSI.1 Network Gateway modules, PS LTE PTT Gateway,or Linux-based Firewall Management Servers in ASTRO® 25 systems. These devices are not BAR clients.

This procedure does not apply to the internal BAR clients on the BAR server. These clients are registeredas part of BAR server installation. However, if a message in a Backups Performed report states that themedia preparation failed, see Registering the Media Manager on the BAR Server Manually on page 71.

Prerequisites:

The BAR Service is operational.

Keys are provisioned for the BAR Service, Media Manager, and the BAR Clients that operate in secure-only mode.See the procedures for the centralized backup and restore feature in the Securing Protocols with SSH manual.

Domain Name Service (DNS) is available.

Procedure:

1 Log on to the BAR client using your Active Directory account.

Step result: The main administration menu for the server appears.2 Enter: admin_menu3 Enter the number for Services Administration.4 Enter the number for Manage BAR Client Configuration.5 Enter the number for Register Centralized Backup and Recovery Agent.

Step result: A message states the registration was successful. The message includes the IP address of the BARclient.

6 Optional: If the registration is not successful, review the logs on the BAR client device for errors. If needed, seethe registration failure information in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

7 On the BAR server, verify the registration:a) Enter the number for Application Administration.

Installing BAR Clients Through the Windows Install FrameworkApplication

This procedure applies only to the Windows-based devices that are supported Backup and Restore (BAR) Clients.

If you are implementing the Baseline Backup functionality, a standard feature of ASTRO® 25 systems, then install theWindows BAR client software only on domain controllers, and, if present, the Authentication Center (AuC) server.

If you are implementing full functionality BAR, then install the Windows BAR client software on each supporteddevice that uses the Windows operating system. See Backup and Restore Clients in ASTRO 25 Systems on page 27.

The only Network Management (NM) Clients that are supported as BAR clients are the NM Clients at a master site.NM Clients which reside at a remote site such as an NM/Dispatch site are not supported BAR Clients, so do notinstall the BAR client on these additional NM Clients. The BAR server cannot manage these additional NM Clients.

For Windows-based devices where you install the BAR Client, be sure to apply additional configuration settings byselecting the Windows BAR Client option when you perform the Device-Specific Settings procedure in the WindowsSupplemental Configuration manual.

When and where to use:

To install the Cygwin Environment.

To install the Windows BAR Client.

To add Schedules.

Procedure:

1 Log on to the Windows-based BAR Client device, using the local Windows administrator account.“secmoto” is the Windows administrator account set up by Motorola for Windows Vista and Windows 7-baseddevices; “Motosec” is the Windows administrator account after completing Motorola supplemental configurationon devices operating on Windows Server 2003 and 2008; otherwise, use the default “administrator” account.

2 Insert the Windows Supplemental CD into the CD/DVD drive of the device on which the BAR Client is beinginstalled.

3 Perform the following actions:a) Navigate to the \WIF directory on the CD/DVD drive.b) Enter:

WindowsInstallFramework.exe /e /i <feature name>.xml• If you want to install the BAR client application, enter:

Motorola Windows Bar Client.xmlYou can add more parameters, separated with a space.

Step example: To install the BAR client and the Event Logging client applications, enter:WindowsInstallFramework.exe /e /i “Motorola Windows Bar Client.xml”“Motorola Windows Logging Client.xml”

4 Optional: If the User Account Control dialog box appears, depending on the prompt you see, perform one of thefollowing actions:a) Click Continue, or enter the administrator password for the account displayed.

b) Click Yes.5 Click OK.

Registering and Enabling Windows BAR Clients ManuallyA BAR client must be registered with the BAR server before it is accessible from the backup/restore menus on theBAR server. If a client is not accessible from the BAR server menus, it cannot be scheduled for backup or restore.Windows BAR clients automatically register with the BAR server approximately every two hours (if the BARService is operating), or can be registered manually using this procedure.

Prerequisites:

The BAR server and BAR service are operational.

Domain Name Service (DNS) is available.

Host keys are provisioned from the BAR server to its own BAR accounts and to its BAR Clients. See procedures forSSH host key provisioning for the centralized backup and restore feature, in the Securing Protocols with SSH manual.

Note: The Backup and Restore feature operates in secure mode on Windows-based devices in an ASTRO®

25 system. Therefore, procedures for Windows-based BAR clients in the Securing Protocols with SSHmanual must be performed even if SSH is not being enabled throughout your system. This includesprovisioning host keys to the BAR clients and also, if required by your organizations policies, provisioningSSH client keys to the BAR clients.

Procedure:

1 Log on to the Windows-based BAR Client device, using the local Windows administrator account.“secmoto” is the administrator account set up by Motorola for Windows Vista and Windows 7-based devices;“Motosec” is the administrator account after completing Motorola supplemental configuration on devicesoperating on Windows Server 2003 and 2008; otherwise, use the default “administrator” account.

2 From the list of programs installed on the computer, select Motorola → BAR Client → Register client.If the User Account Control dialog box appears, click Continue.

Step result: A command prompt appears and registration of the BAR client is completed.3 Log on to the BAR server using your Active Directory account. See Methods of Logging On to Linux-Based

4Backup and Restore Services Operation

This chapter details tasks that you can perform to use the Backup and Restore (BAR) services in ASTRO® 25systems. See Backup and Restore Service Administration on page 52.

The following administrative functions are also available to support the BAR service: managing backup data,administering data storage, and generating reports.

Methods of Logging On to Linux-Based Servers for Backup andRestore Operations

To perform operations related to centralized Backup and Restore operations on ASTRO® 25 system Linux-baseddevices that support the centralized Backup and Restore feature, log on to the server using one of the followingmethods:

• Your Active Directory account that is a member of the bkupadm user group, if the server is joined to the domainand a domain controller is available on the network (recommended)

• The root account on the server

For the Active Directory user groups to use for administration menu options on ASTRO® 25 system Linux-basedservers, see the Authentication Services manual.

Methods of Logging On to a Windows-Based Device to Use theVMware vSphere Client

To launch the VMware vSphere Client, log on to the Windows-based device where it resides using an accountbelonging to the platadm user group in Active Directory. For information how to assign a user to a group, see the“Roles to Operations Mapping Tool” appendix in the Authentication Services manual.

The local Windows administrator or domain administrator account not being a member of the platadm group can runthe VMware vSphere Client by entering its executable path and filename at the elevated Windows command prompt.For some applications, the path and filename can be seen in the properties for the application desktop shortcut. Forinformation how to run the elevated Windows command prompt window, see “Starting the Windows Command Lineas Administrator” in the Authentication Services manual.

The “Motosec” is the local Windows administrator account setup by Motorola supplemental configuration for devicesoperating on Windows Server 2003 and 2008; “secmoto” is the Windows administrator account setup by Motorola forWindows Vista-based and Windows 7-based devices.

Enabling the BAR Service with BAR Server MenusWhen and where to use: Before you perform backups, enable the Backup and Restore (BAR) Service. The Backupand Restore (BAR) service is enabled by default in an ASTRO® 25 system.

Procedure:

1 Log on to the Backup and Recovery (BAR) server using your Active Directory account. See Methods of LoggingOn to Linux-Based Servers for Backup and Restore Operations on page 51.

Step result: The command prompt appears.2 Enter: admin_menu

Step result: The server administration Main Menu appears.3 Enter the number for Application Administration.4 Enter the number for Manage Application.5 Enter the number for Enable Backup Service.

Step result: The success message and Manage Application menu appear.

Data Backup SchedulesYou can schedule the time, frequency, and data transfer speed for a data backup or modify an existing backupschedule for a specific device. You can specify a single, one-time backup, or a recurring (scheduled) backup. For theone-time backup, you can specify whether the backup is to be incremental (only data that has changed since the lastbackup is transferred) or full (all the data for backing up is transferred).

Caution:

To prevent loss of audio under heavy load conditions, schedule backups for hours when usage is typicallylow and disable backup for critical time periods.

Avoid scheduling more than four backups to occur simultaneously and schedule backups to occuraccording to the recommended (default) frequency and backup speed.

Note: There is an interdependent relationship between the PDG, PM/CS, UNC, and the ZC. When systemconfiguration changes are executed on the PDG, PM/CS, UNC, and ZC are impacted by the changes.Therefore, backups of these interdependent devices should be scheduled in fairly close succession to helpreduce the need to manually re-enter changes/updates in a disaster recovery scenario.

Default Scheduled BackupsThe Backup and Restore (BAR) Service is enabled by default. A default weekly schedule is added for each BARclient so that volatile data from each device is backed up without operator intervention, based on the usage profile forthat device.

Canceling a Scheduled Backup with BAR Server MenusWhen and where to use:

Perform this procedure to cancel the next scheduled data backup from a specified device, cancel a specific scheduledbackup of a specified device, or cancel a backup in progress.

When a backup is initiated by the BAR server, a trigger is sent to the BAR client after media preparation is completeon the BAR server.

However, if you cancel a backup during Media Manager preparation, using the Cancel Backup in Progress option,the BAR server trigger is sent to the client anyway. When you perform Generating a Report from the BAR Server forBAR Service Results on page 72, the report will show the trigger was sent, but the client has not responded,followed by a timeout 20 minutes later, followed by the BAR server canceling the operation.

To avoid the wait for a timeout, do not cancel a backup until after the report shows that the trigger has been sent to theclient.

For Linux-based BAR clients (including the BAR client that backs up the configuration of the BAR server itself),perform Completing a Data Restore on a Linux BAR Client on page 61 after executing a BAR restore to move therestored data to its operational area and restore the operational state of the BAR client device.

For Windows BAR clients (other than the NM Client): If additional procedures are needed, they are indicated inthe restore/recovery processes in the manual specific to that device. After data is restored to operating locations, oneof the following scripts should be run to restore ACLs:

• For a 32-bit OS: C:\Program Files\Motorola\bar\bin\restore_acls.exe• For a 64-bit OS: C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\bar\bin\restore_acls.exe

Note: If a User Account Control prompt appears while executing one of the scripts, click Allow.

Completing a Data Restore on a Linux BAR ClientPrerequisites: Before restoring a database, disable the server on which it resides. Failure to do so may cause serverdamage. While disabled, all the processes on a server application are stopped. Do not disable any server unless youare aware of all of the system impacts. See the Private Network Management Servers manual for restore/recoveryprocesses for BAR client devices and the system impacts.

When and where to use: Perform this procedure to move data restored to a Backup and Restore (BAR) client to itsoperational areas on the client.

• Label your removable NAS devices NAS1, NAS2, and NAS3.• Use your NAS devices on a sequenced, weekly rotational basis for every offline backup operation. First week, use

NAS1, the other NAS2, and so on. This way you prevent your system backup data copy from being too old if oneof the NAS devices goes down.

• If your disaster recovery policy requires retention of backup data for extended periods, obtain an additional set ofNAS devices and use it after the first set of NAS devices reaches its capacity limit.

• If long-term retention is not required, delete data from NAS1 in Q1, NAS2 in Q2, and so on. This way you haverecent backups available in case of disasters.

Chapter

5Backup and Restore Services Troubleshooting

This chapter provides troubleshooting information relating to centralized Backup and Restore (BAR) services.

Backup and Restore Services Troubleshooting Overview

Possible causes of failure for centralized data backup and data restore operations include:

• Loss of communication between the BAR server and client• Network failure or congestion• Backup data contention• Lack of storage space• Server or client failure

The server keeps log files containing events that occur during data backup and data restore operations. Log files arealso kept on the devices that are being backed up or restored. These log files provide useful information fortroubleshooting failures that may occur during these operations and should be used for this purpose.

BAR Service Troubleshooting Operations

If you attempt to change the bandwidth on a full-time backup, the time associated with the full-time backup isdisplayed in GMT instead of the local time.

Problem Action to Take Additional Information

Note:

The following explains detail that may displayunder Status Canceled when performing Generating a Report from the BAR Server for BARService Results on page 72.

When a backup is initiated by the BAR server, atrigger is sent to the client device after mediapreparation is complete on the BAR server. If theBAR client does not respond within 10 minutesafter the receiving the trigger, the operation isautomatically canceled by the BAR server.

However, if you cancel a backup during MediaManager preparation, the BAR server trigger is sentto the client anyway. The report will show thetrigger was sent, but the client has not responded,followed by a timeout 20 minutes later, followed bythe BAR server canceling the operation.

To avoid the wait for a timeout, do not cancel abackup until after the report shows that the triggerhas been sent to the client.

6Backup and Restore Services Disaster Recovery

This chapter provides references and information that enable you to recover an ASTRO® 25 system Backup andRecovery (BAR) server in the event of a failure.

Recovering the BAR Server

When and where to use: Use to recover a BAR server for either the baseline or full functionality Backup andRestore feature in an ASTRO® 25 system.

Process:

1 Optional: Perform one of the following steps.

If… Then…

If you are recovering theVMware ESXi-based virtualserver that hosted the BARserver virtual machine and theDAS Disaster Recovery does notneed to be performed,

perform the following actions:

1 Perform the Disaster Recovery process for the virtual server host. Seethe disaster recovery information in the Virtual Management ServerSoftware manual.

2 Add the existing BAR server virtual machine to the new virtual serverhost from the DAS storage. See “Adding a Virtual Machine to theInventory for Expansions” in the Virtual Management Server Softwaremanual.

3 Perform Connecting and Powering On a BAR Server Virtual Machineon page 34.

Result: The Disaster Recovery process completes.

If you are recovering theVMware ESXi-based virtualserver and the DAS DisasterRecovery is required,

perform the following actions:

1 Perform the Disaster Recovery process for the virtual server host. Seethe disaster recovery information in the Virtual Management ServerSoftware manual.

2 Go to the next step.

2 Optional: Delete the existing BAR server virtual machine. See “Deleting a Virtual Machine” in the VirtualManagement Server Software manual.

3 Perform the software installation/configuration procedures. See Backup and Restore Services Installation andConfiguration on page 31.

Note: Wait until step 6 to perform SSH configuration.

4 Restore configurations that were backed up by the BAR Client on the BAR server that you are replacing, byselecting the BAR Client with the Media Manager IP address for the following procedures:

a) Importing a Data Archive from the Offline Storage NAS to the BAR Server on page 66 or Importing a BARArchive from the Offline Storage on ISO on page 63

b) Executing a BAR Client Data Restore on page 60c) Completing a Data Restore on a Linux BAR Client on page 61d) Rebooting the BAR Server on page 74

5 Verify that each BAR clients IP address is included in the list that appears when you perform Generating BackupSchedule Reports on the BAR Server on page 72.

6 Optional: Reconfigure SSH keys on the BAR server and on BAR clients. See the centralized Backup and Restoreconfiguration process in the Securing Protocols with SSH manual. The process does not interfere with other SSHconfiguration on devices. Perform the following actions:a) Generate new SSH host and client keys on the BAR server.b) Reconfigure SSH on BAR clients.

7 Optional: Restore BAR archives to the BAR server for other BAR clients. See Importing a Data Archive from theOffline Storage NAS to the BAR Server on page 66 or Importing a BAR Archive from the Offline Storage on ISOon page 63.

Replacing the Offline Storage NAS

When and where to use:

Follow this process to replace the offline storage NAS device.

Note: The offline storage NAS device is protected by RAID 5. This means that the RAID array continuesto function even if a single disk fails. In the event of a single disk failure, you can replace the failed diskwith a new one. For the detailed procedure, see the User Guide delivered with your device.

Process:

1 See the FRE ordering and replacement information. See NAS Device FRE Information on page 26.2 Install and configure the offline storage NAS device. See Installing and Configuring the Seagate Offline Storage

NAS Device on page 43.
