Restore
You can restore your ArcSight Management Center configuration from a previous backup. These stipulations apply to restoring:
-
The version of ArcSight Management Center used to restore the backup must be the same version used to create it.
-
A backup performed on a root installation cannot be used to restore a non-root installation.
-
For Software ArcSight Management Center, the install path of a restored Software ArcMC must be the same as the path of the backup, and the same root or non-root user must perform the installation as did the backup.
- For ArcMC appliances, the ArcMC to be restored needs to match the appliance model from the ArcMC backup.
- A Restore from one ArcMC backup may be performed to a different IP or hostname, subject to the stipulations above.
To restore the configuration:
- Software:
current/backups/restore.log
- Appliances:
/opt/backups/restore.log
-
Click Administration > Application > Restore.
-
Under Upload Backup for Restore, click Choose File.
-
Select your backup file.
-
Click Upload to restore the configuration from the specified backup file.
Caution: The version of ArcSight Management Center used to restore the backup must be the same version used to create it.
-
On software , restart the ArcSight Management Center web process. On appliance, reboot the appliance.
-
Optionally, re-import the SSL certificate for each container. Click the
icon to run the Certificate Download wizard and import the valid certificates. In addition, if a certificate mismatch is shown for any remote node, re-import the server certificate for the node.
After restoring the configuration:
-
The cache size on the restore may be different from the cache size in the backup file. For example, after restoring the configuration, a managed node might receive more events or consume more cache.
-
The container versions on the restore (if any) might be different from those in the backup file.
-
The Cache column on the Connectors tab may take a few minutes to refresh the updated cache size for the Connectors/Collectors.
