6.1 Dump and Backup

Dump and backup are two different operations on data. Their meaning and description are listed in Table 6-1. Table 6-1 Dump and backup Operation Dump Meaning Exports data from the database into a file for future reference. Description
z z

The purpose is to view the data. The source data is deleted from the database. The dumped data cannot be restored from the file to the database. The purpose is to restore the data to the database in case of a fault. The source data is not deleted from the database. The backup data is restored to the database.

Backup

Copies data from the database into a file. When the source data is damaged, you can import the backup data into the database for restoration purpose.

6.2 DMS Database

Seven DMS basic databases are set up as follows:

6.3 Viewing the Database Status

Description
View the statuses of all DMS databases to ensure that the DMS runs normally.

Precaution
When the database usage exceeds the alarm threshold, the alarm prompts appear as follows:
z z

The database records on the N2000 System Monitor turn red. The N2000 System Monitor service process sends alarms to the NMS and the alarms are displayed in the alarm list of the fault management.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the N2000 System Monitor. Step 2 Select the Database tab. The database information of the NMS server is displayed on the tab, as shown in Figure 6-1.

6.4 Expanding the Database

According to the capacity of the communication network managed by the DMS, you can expand the database manually when the data space or the log space in the database is not enough. Two modes of expanding the database are shown as follows:
z z

Through the N2000 System Monitor Expanding the Sybase Database Through the Command Line

6.4.1 Through the N2000 System Monitor

Description
With the DMS N2000 System Monitor, you can expand the data space and the log space in the database.

Precaution
z z

Before expanding the database, you need to back up the database. For operations of the backup database, see section "9 Database Backup and Restoration." The database cannot be restored to the initial configuration after being expanded. The database space cannot be expanded without any limit and a single database space cannot

expand more than 5000 MB once. Therefore, do not expand the data field and log field at random.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the N2000 System Monitor. Step 2 Select the Database tab. Select the database records to be expanded. Right-click the page. Select Expand. Step 3 The Database Expansion dialog box is displayed. Enter the size of the data space and the log space to be expanded, as shown in Figure 6-2. Figure 6-2 Database expansion

Step 4 Click OK. Step 5 The confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click OK after confirmation. Step 6 The prompt of success in expanding the database is displayed. Click OK. ----End

6.4.2 Expanding the Sybase Database Through the Command Line

Description
Expand the Sybase. When you perform the expansion operation on the drive where the NMS database does not exist, you need to perform the operation with the command lines.

Procedure
Suppose that the current FaultDB data storage path is /opt/sybase/data. The path to expand the fatultDB to the new physical medium (512 MB) is /new_data/. Step 1 Log in to the N2000 System Monitor.

Step 2 Choose System > Stop Server in the main menu to stop all DMS processes and disconnect all database to be expanded. Step 3 Run the following commands to initialize the device.
isql>disk init name=new_fault_dev,physname=/new_data/fault_new_dev.dat, vdevno=101,size=256000 isql>disk init name=new_fault_log_dev,physname=/new_data/fault_new_log_dev.dat, vdevno=101,size=256000

z z

The names of the disk and database are defined by the user. The unit of parameters is 2 KB. The vdevno is the device number. Every database device has one and only device number. Using the isql>sp_helpdevice command, you can query the used device number. The device_number in the displayed information is the device number.

Step 4 Run the following commands to expand the database.

isql>alter database FaultDB on new_fault_dev=512 isql>alter database FaultDB on new_fault_log_dev=512

The unit of the parameters is MB.

Step 5 Using the quit or exit commands, you can quit the DMS database. Step 6 At the System Monitor, choose System > Start Server to start all DMS service processes. ----End

6.4.3 Expanding the SQL sever Database Through the Command Line
Description
Expand the SQL Server database. When you perform the expansion operation on the disk where the NMS database does not exist, you need to perform the operation with the command lines.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Query Analyzer and run the SQL query analyzer. Step 2 Select SQL Sever Authentication. Enter the user name and password of the database. The database query window appears. Step 3 In the database query window, input the database expansion commands as follows:
ALTER DATABASE FaultDB ADD FILE (NAME=new_fault_dev, FILENAME = D:\new_data\fault_new_dev.dat ,SIZE=512000KB, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 10%) ALTER DATABASE FaultDB ADD LOG FILE (NAME=mylogdev, FILENAME = D:\new_data\fault_new_log_dev.dat,SIZE=512000KB, MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 10%)

Step 4 Choose Tools > Execute in the main menu and run the commands in batch.

6.5 Dumping Alarm Database

6.5.1 Automatic Dump of Alarm Data
Automatic dump of data includes automatic dump of the alarm, event and log data.

Description
Configure the automatic dump policy of the history alarm data. Dump the history alarm data to the file in a certain period. The automatic dump policy covers the following:
z z

Overflowed dump Periodical dump

The default dump path is $N2000ROOT/server/dump. The name format of the dump alarm file is Alarm year month data hour minute second-No..txt, such as Alarm20070329144540-00.txt. The name format of the dump event file is Event year month data hour minute second-No..txt, such as Event20070329172833-01.txt. The dump file supports three formats as follows:
z z z

html csv txt

The dumped files can realize the cycle cover. When the amount of alarm data backup files exceeds default 1000, the system automatically covers the previous files to ensure that the disk space can be released.

Precaution
z z z

When the alarm database is filled, the system automatically dumps the alarms according to the full dump policy. The dumped alarm records are saved in the specified dump path and deleted from the database. The records of the dumped data cannot be queried in the Fault Browse window.

Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the DMS client and choose System > Dump Settings in the main menu. Step 2 The Dump Settings dialog box is displayed. Select the Alarm Dump tab. Configure the alarm dump conditions and the path to save the dumped files, as shown in Figure 6-3.
