Taking Back Up of Service Now Release 16.1R2 Data Before Upgrading Junos Space Platform to Release 16.1R1/16.1R2
To back up Service Now Release 16.1R2 data:
- Install the Junos Space Platform patch provided to back
up Service Now data.
The following is a sample output when the patch is installed:
Copying [ AIM ] Application Files...! Starting Service Now Backup... STAGE-1 - SN Backup Preprocessing - Creating backup directories for SN Image and DB... STAGE-1 - SN Backup Preprocessing completed - Successfully created backup directories for SN Image and DB... STAGE-2 - SN Backup core processing started... STAGE-2.1 - Preparing to backup image...

- Download the Service Now image from the Software Download Page to a temporary folder on the Junos Space server.
- Open a separate ssh session on the Junos Space server
and create a folder (for example, Service-Now 16.1R2.4) to copy the
Service Now image from the temporary folder.
cd /var/cache/jboss/sn_backup/image mkdir Service-Now.16.1R2.4
- Copy the Service Now image from the temporary folder to
the newly created folder.
cp /tmp/Service-Now.16.1R2.4.img /var/cache/jboss/sn_backup/image/Service-Now.16.1R2.4/.
- Follow the prompts to proceed with the backup.
A
*.tgz
file is created at the end of the backup process.
