Prerequisites for Restoring Backup

This section describes the prerequisites required for the Session Monitor restore procedure.

Review the complete Restore procedure thoroughly before starting with the actual restore.
The Time zone and system time of the machine used for restoring must be same as that of machine from which backup is taken.
Some steps and sections are applicable only to specific Nodes. Lookout for such Notes in the respective step or section.

Note:

For the Mediation Engine Connector, if the previously connected Mediation Engine IP address requires any change to the post-restore procedure, then it is recommended that you do a fresh installation rather than restore. The reason is, that all panels and other configuration added, are stored in the database based on the previous ME IP. So, if the Mediation Engine IP address has changed, this can flood many errors in system and existing data will not be useful.
