1 Introduction
This document describes how to set the maximum number of scheduled system backups that can be stored in the managed element.
The maximum value is set in attribute maxStoredScheduledBackups. When this value is already reached, the oldest stored scheduled system backup is deleted before a new scheduled system backup can be created.
Setting the maximum number of scheduled system backups to a value below the existing number of stored scheduled system backups results in immediate deletion of one or more stored scheduled system backups to match the maximum number.
The default value of attribute maxStoredScheduledBackups is 5. Avoid the minimum value 1 since it can lead to loss of all system scheduled backups stored in the managed element.
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 maxStoredScheduledBackups is known.
- The new value of maxStoredScheduledBackups is known.
- An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.
2 Procedure
To set the maximum number of scheduled backups:
- Navigate to the BrmBackupScheduler managed object, for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA,BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA
- Enter Config mode:
(BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>configure
- Change the value of maxStoredScheduledBackups, for example:
(config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>maxStoredScheduledBackups=4
Depending on the chosen value and the number of stored scheduled system backups, commit of this change can lead to immediate deletion of stored scheduled system backups.
If maxStoredScheduledBackups is set to 1, the oldest scheduled backup is deleted before a new scheduled backup of the same backup type is created. In this case, if the new scheduled backup fails, there is no scheduled backup in the system.
- Note:
- The value of the maxStoredScheduledBackups attribute cannot be cleared by the no maxStoredScheduledBackups ECLI command
- Commit the change:
(config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>commit
- Verify the change:
(BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>show
The following is an example output:
BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA [...] maxStoredScheduledBackups=4 [...]
