Post Restore Tasks

This section describes the things to be taken care after restore procedure is complete which enables you to start using your Session Monitor.

After restoring the backup, complete the following steps:

Start OCSM services by running the following command:
```
source /opt/oracle/ocsm/ocsm_env.sh
pld-systemctl start
```
Run the command to restart the crond services:
```
systemctl start crond.service
```
Certificate Exchange: Before logging into the system, you will need to exchange certificates between respective nodes as required.
Configuring connection between nodes:
Post restore, you will need to re-establish all the connections between all nodes like ME-Probe, ME-FM and ME-MEC
- For ME and Standalone Probe Machine, Delete older ME details from the Probe and then added new ME details
- For ME and Embedded Probe Machine, delete the Probe info from ME from admin→Settings→Probe section to re-establish connection
Multi VSP: Post the restore, multi-vsp will be disabled by default. You will need to enable multi-vsp again as per your requirement.
SELinux : SELinux state won't be restored. Post restore, you can Enable or Disable SELinux again as per your requirement. SELinux policy modules have changed with OCSM 5.1, See Enabling SELinux for information.
Changing nginx to httpd: httpd changes won't be restored. Post restore procedure Apache Web Server will be reverted back to NGINX. You will need to change back from nginx to httpd again as per your requirement.
External Authentication: For External Authentication enabled Machines, re-enable 'External Authentication' from Settings as these changes will not be restored. Post restore, it is mandatory to copy the new pld.conf template from /opt/oracle/ocsm/etc/httpd/conf.d/pld.conf to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ folder and configure External Authentication details again. This ensures new fixes and any changes in the pld.conf template to be applied on the system.
Retention: For systems with retention configured in Mediation Engine, If backup and restore procedure took more than 24 hours, it is recommend to adjust retention by adding x days (n+x) and then readjust retention back to your existing one after n days. x = Number of days taken for backup and restore, n = Existing Retention Configured.
For example, A system has Calls Retention set to 10 days. The backup and restore procedure took 2 Days. Once Restore is completed, in ME we need to set Calls Retention as 12 Days (10 + 2). Then after 10 Days you need to set Retention back to 10 Days.
System Diagnostics: Keep safely in the new OCSM Server the backup copy of the System Diagnostics taken during backup process which will be required in future diagnostics.
You can now rename the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys_orig file in the Remote Server to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Restore procedure is now complete.
