1 Introduction
This document describes how to enable automatic deletion of manual system backups in the managed element.
Enabling automatic deletion of manual system backups when the maximum number of manual system backups is below the existing number of stored manual system backups results in immediate deletion of one or more stored manual system backups to match the maximum number.
For information on how to modify the maximum number of manual system backups, refer to Change Maximum Number of Manual Backups.
1.1 Prerequisites
This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.
1.1.1 Conditions
The following conditions must apply:
- The existing value of attribute autoDelete is DISABLED.
- An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.
2 Procedure
If the number of backups is already over the value of attribute maxStoredManualBackups, this operation deletes one or more existing backups. Consider to export important backups before enabling this operation.
To enable automatic deletion of manual backups:
- Navigate to the BrmBackupHousekeeping managed object, for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA,BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA.
- Enter Config mode:
(BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA)>configure
- Enable automatic deletion of manual backups:
(config-BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA)>autoDelete=ENABLED
Depending on the number of stored manual backups and the value of the maximum number of manual backups, commit of this change can result in immediate deletion of stored manual system backups.
- Note:
- The value of the autoDelete attribute cannot be cleared by the no autoDelete ECLI command.
- Commit the change:
(config-BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA)>commit
- Verify the change:
(BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA)>show -v
The following is an example output:
BrmBackupHousekeeping=SYSTEM_DATA autoDelete=ENABLED <default> [...]
