This section describes the steps required for preparing Session Monitor for restoring data as part of Strategy-2. As per Strategy-2, the freshly installed Session Monitor server already has all the necessary block storage data. So, in this case, block storage restore procedure would not be required.

1. Before starting restore, stop all Session Monitor services by running the following commands on CLI:

   source /opt/oracle/ocsm/ocsm_env.sh
   pld-systemctl stop

   Note:

   Do not perform any other actions on the system until the Restore procedure is complete.
2. Run the command to stop the cron service:

   systemctl stop crond.service

3. Start the crond.service again after the restore.
