Take MySQL dump of blocks table. This step is required only if the node type is Mediation Engine.

1. Move to the MySQL Backup directory (For example, cd /root/mysqlBackup/) and take a MySQL dump of the Blocks table. Run this command:

   mysqldump --skip-add-drop-table --skip-add-locks --no-create-info --replace vsp blocks > blocks_replace.sql

2. Verify the blocks_replace.sql is created under the MySQL Backup directory. For example:

   [root@localhost ~]# ls -lrt /root/mysqlBackup/
   total 144
   drwxr-x---. 2 root root 143360 Mar 23 08:46 vsp.dump
   -rwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 143360 Mar 23 08:46 blocks_replace.sql

   Note:

   This step helps to fix any discrepancy caused by difference in the number of blocks between the Source Machine and the Target Machine.
