13 Chapter 3: Routine maintenance fundamentals This chapter describes the background information that you need to perform the required routine maintenance tasks on your Avaya Aura Contact Center servers. To protect data perform routine maintenance at regular intervals. Backup information All contact centers must perform regular backups of Contact Center databases to a secure network drive. You can perform an immediate backup, or a scheduled backup. Regular backups help your Contact Center to recover from events such as data loss and damage due to disk failures and power outages. You can use the Database Maintenance Utility to back up and restore the database on the Contact Center servers. If your contact center server is running with a standby server, ensure that you back up the primary server, not the standby server, to back up the most current data. Use the Database Maintenance Utility to create backup data. A backup location is a physical network location that consists of the following elements: Drive letter - currently unassigned in Windows (you cannot use existing, already mapped Windows drive letters) - created during use (for example, to store backup data or migration data) - removed after use - used only with the Database Maintenance Utility UNC path - use a valid uniform naming convention (UNC) path (for example, \\cc_server\cc_share \cc_backup) User name - Windows account that connects to the location specified by the UNC Path Avaya Aura Contact Center Routine Maintenance May

14 Routine maintenance fundamentals - must include computer name in account name (for example, cc_server \administrator) Password - used for the Windows account that connects to the location specified by the UNC path For information about how to create a backup location, see Avaya Aura Contact Center Server Administration (NN ) or press F1 in the Database Maintenance Utility to view online help. You can schedule single or multiple backup tasks on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. However, you cannot use this utility to back up operating system files. Contact Center stores up to seven backup files at each server location. The backup files are stored in numbered backup directories (for example, Backup_1, Backup_2). File storage is circular and, if necessary, the oldest backup file is deleted so that new backup files can be stored at a location. You back up all application databases (CCT, CCMS, CCT, and ADMIN) at one time. The backup folder contains a single database backup file named AACC_CacheDB_Backup.bkp. You can verify that a scheduled backup ran successfully by viewing Contact Center events. After the backup, an event message includes the scheduled backup by name and indicate if it has finished successfully or if it has finished with an error. Details of the error are included. Patching information Avaya supplies Service Packs for updates to Contact Center servers. Service Packs provide planned product updates and bug fixes. Each Service Pack contains the latest fixes and the content of all previous Service Packs. Each Service Pack provides urgent, individual fixes required before the next Service Pack is available. When you install the latest Service Pack, the installation program automatically uninstalls the previous Service Pack. Because of this, do not uninstall a Service Pack before you install the latest Service Pack. For ongoing patches, you can locate all Service Packs on the Avaya Network Web site support.avaya.com. Security updates Create a systematic and accountable process to identify and apply required security updates. Due to the urgent nature of security vulnerabilities to the system, you must establish and follow security guidelines and promptly install any security patches issued by Microsoft. 14 Avaya Aura Contact Center Routine Maintenance May 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com

15 Operating system updates Back up your Contact Center applications before applying any security patches to the system so that you can rollback the system, if necessary. If Contact Center does not function properly after you apply a Microsoft security patch, then you must remove the patch and revert to the previous version of Contact Center. For more information see Avaya Aura Contact Center Planning and Engineering (NN ). Operating system updates Download the latest supported operating system service pack from the Avaya hotfixes list to ensure that your Contact Center server software functions correctly with the supported operating system patches. Certificate store files Contact Center Manager Server (CCMS) uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates to communicate securely with Avaya Aura Application Enablement Services. You must back up and restore the CCMS Certificate Manager certificates manually. For more information, see Backing up certificate store files on page 108 and Restoring certificate store files on page 109. For more information about TLS certificate store files, see Avaya Aura Contact Center Commissioning (NN ). High Availability In an Avaya Aura Contact Center High Availability solution, you can back up the application databases on the active server and restore them onto the standby server. After a database backup and restore in a High Availability solution, you must open the High Availability utility and verify the IP addresses and server mode of all High Availability servers. You must also open the Server Configuration utility and verify the server details on all servers. Avaya Aura Contact Center Routine Maintenance May
