Backing up MC
Before you upgrade MC, Vertica recommends that you back up your MC metadata (configuration and user settings). Use a storage location external to the server on which you installed MC.
-
On the target server (where you want to store MC metadata), log in as root or a user with sudo privileges.
-
Create a backup directory as in following example:
# mkdir /backups/mc/mc-backup-20130425
-
Copy the
/opt/vconsole
directory to the new backup folder:# cp –r /opt/vconsole /backups/mc/mc-backup-20130425
