Prime 2.2 restore issue

[Nachiappan Nachiappan]

Hi

We are trying to do appliance backup on Prime 2.1 and restore on Prime 2.2. Getting the below error:

Current system configuration doesnot match the system configuration of the machine where the backup was taken.
Please attempt restore again on a equivalent machine
Any customizations done on the original server have to be repeated before restoring the backup
The following system requirement need to be met before restore can proceed with the given backup
DB Memory target - 6GB
%Application restore failed.

Will their be a issue of restoring if PI2.2 has memory bigger than PI2.1 memory.

Thanks

I had this problem also last week. You need to make sure that the resources (CPU, Memory,etc...) are configured the same on PI2.2 as they where in PI2.1. Afterwards you can then change the resources on the PI2.2 server. Also make sure you have the same OVA deployed in PI2.2 as you did in PI2.1

Thanks Ashok and Andy.

But I am not able to locate anywhere in cisco P2.2 guide that the specification need to be the same. Is that mentioned somewhere on the cisco doco?

Both have 16 vCPU and 8192MB memory. Does the VM version and memory overhead required to be same as well?

Hi,

In order to restore a PI backup taken from a physical/virtual appliance with certain system specification, the new appliance (physical/virtual) where we’re restoring the backupmust have the same system specification.

Therefore, it’s not possible to restore the PI backup on a virtual appliance whose system specification different than the original one, from where it was taken.
