System Restore

System restoration involves the following six steps:

  1. Re-install SpinFire Manage software (if needed)

  2. Restore the database

  3. Restore the Catalog Resources

  4. Restore Program Data

  5. Restore Configuration files

  6. Restore the license file

  7. Switch networking to the new server (if needed)

Install SpinFire Manage

  1. Re-install SpinFire Manage from the SpinFire Manage installation files. It is recommended to install from the same version of SpinFire Manage in which the back up was taken from.

  2. STOP the Web App and Pipeline Service as soon as the installation is finished.

  3. Verify the CentroPool application pool and Pipeline Service have the correct “Login as” User assigned.

Database Restore

  1. The database should already be installed in ArangoDB (CentroDB)

  2. Restore the database with the following command.

Example:

arangorestore --server.database CentroDB --include-system-collections --input-directory "dump" --create-database

To execute on Windows:

"C:\Program Files\<ARANGO_Version>\usr\bin\arangorestore" --server.database CentroDB --include-system-collections --input-directory "dump" --create-database

Note: If arangod.conf was modified to point to a non-IP Address, add the optional --server.endpoint option:

--server.endpoint tcp:///SERVERNAME.COMPANY.com:8529
