Prerequisite:
Since the license file is generated specifically for each instance, the new license file should be applied after the restoration procedure. Please contact with Krontech Support team to provide the new license file.
Before restoring VMware Instance, stop database replication.
Execute the following commands only on the node where the restore operation is performed.
- Check the SymmetricDS replication status. [root@kronpam~]# /u01/sym/symmetric-server-3.10.5/bin/sym_service status
- Stop SymmetricDS replication. [root@kronpam~]# /u01/sym/symmetric-server-3.10.5/bin/sym_service stop
- Open the VMware vSphere Client and navigate to File > Deploy OVF Template.
