The new PeopleSoft Cloud Manager Image 11 is a feature-packed version that was made generally available a few weeks back. It delivers better user experience, enhanced control, deeper automation, and reduce the overall operational cost of your PeopleSoft Environments in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
For users who often perform self-updates to keep Cloud Manager current, it is essential to take a backup of the environment in its current state so you can restore it, in case something unfortunate happens. For those who are still using Cloud Manager 10, the good news is, you can upgrade your Cloud Manager using the self-upgrade feature. Sometimes we hear questions from users like “What if the upgrade fails?” “Can I get back to my old Cloud Manager?” “I’ve never tried it before, not sure what will happen”. We have you covered. Cloud Manager provides an automated way to safely back up and restore the backed up block and boot volumes if required.
This graphic illustrates the Backup and Restore process:
Run the shell script, cm_backup_restore.sh -o backup, to back up your Cloud Manager. You will have to create a configuration file before this if you are running backup for the first time. (Include the path of the shell script and which user has the privilege to run the shell.)
If you want to try it, just copy-paste the below command.
sh cm_backup_restore.sh -o backup
The script will do the following:
Both data volume and a set of files on boot volume must be replaced from a backup to restore the Cloud Manager instance to a certain backup point.
The first step is to restore the data volume. To restore a block (data) volume backup, the user must provide a backup name. Users can list the existing backups and then select the backup to restore.
Note: Before restoring the data volume, generate the list of IP addresses of all managed instances provisioned by the Cloud Manager. This is required later in the restore process to synchronize the ‘/cm_psft_dpks/cloud’ directory to all managed nodes in case the files are not up-to-date. This step is required whenever restoring from the latest Cloud Manager version to an older version.
As an example, restoring back from Cloud Manager Image 11 to Cloud Manager Image 10 would include the following steps.
sh cm_backup_restore.sh -o restore -n <backup_name>
For detailed steps to execute the back and restore please refer to the product documentation.
