Hi Smita,

I tried it  as per the document and got the beolw error

"secure-store is initialized, cannot restore"

[smnambia]

Try this

Open, clear secure store from CM and then try to restore the backup from CLI

so the command is

cms secure-store open

cms secure-store clear

and try to restore the cms database

Hi Smita,

Hi Dhanasekaran,

Really Strange that you are still seeing the secure store error message.

The only other thing that I can think of is try resetting the cms secure store on the CM as per the below documentation link

Thanks Smita,

Hi Dhanasekaran,

I think all you need to do is follow the below documentation

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v431/configuration/guide/maint.html#wp1105156

and once you import the cms db then just open cms secure-store.

cms secure-store open and then put in the pass phrase used.

Just in case you forgot the pass phrase thats when you need the reset.

By the way the cms db that you are trying to import was running which WAAS code?

Hi Dhana,

When secure store is initialized and open on CM, first clear secure store and then restore database backup. If database backup was taken when secure store initialized and open, then during database restore user has to provide passphrase.

Could you please try clearing the secure store on CM and then take back-up and then import the CM database.
