Guidelines for Upgrading, Backing Up, and Restoring Data
- Shwetha S (Deactivated)
You should take into consideration the impact on scheduled and approval tasks when you perform any of the following:
- When you upgrade from previous releases to latest NIOS version, the appliance converts all valid punycode data to IDNs for DNS resource records and DNS zones. When you have a fresh installation of latest NIOS version, the appliance converts all valid punycode data to IDNs for DNS zones only. It retains punycode data for resource records.
- Upgrade the NIOS software: In a full upgrade, all scheduled and approval tasks are deleted. In a lite upgrade, scheduled and approval tasks are not deleted.
- Back up the NIOS database: All scheduled and approval tasks are backed up for troubleshooting purpose.
- Restore the database: Scheduled and approval tasks are not restored.
- Promote a Grid member to a Grid Master: After the promotion, all scheduled and approval tasks that are past due are executed immediately.
- Revert the NIOS software image: After the revert, all scheduled and approval tasks that are past due are executed immediately.
- Restore data from the Recycle Bin: To restore a deleted parent object (such as a network) that contains a child object (such as a DHCP range) associated with a scheduled or approval task, you must first delete the scheduled or approval task for the child object.
