Monitoring, Management & Location Tracking

Introduction- If  VisualRF data alone needs to be restored backup file, please follow the steps given below:

Environment- The steps given below have been tested and validated for AirWave 8.0.x.x versions.

Answer- 

• Copy the backup of the AMP which was taken when VisualRF was working to /tmp directory. Here the name of the backup file isdatabackup.tar.gz
• Run the following command to grep the name of the VisualRF backup file:

                             #tar zxvf /tmp/databackup.tar.gz | grep .zip

• From the output, we will find the backup located under var/airwave-backup/visualrf/visualrf_backup_<name-of-amp-server>.zipsimilar to what we see below:

                             #var/airwave-backup/visualrf/visualrf_backup_amp-server.aruba.com.zip

• Run the following command to extract the VisualRF’s backup, which will be saved under /tmp/var/airwave-backup/visualrf/

                             #tar zxvf /tmp/databackup.tar.gz var/airwave-backup/visualrf/visualrf_backup_amp-server.aruba.com.zip

• Copy the visualrf_backup_<name-of-amp-server>.zip to the desktop using a file transfer tool like WinSCP.
• Login to the GUI o AMP and navigate to VisualRF à Import à Import Floor Plans From a VisualRF or VisualRF Plan Backup
• Import the VisualRF backup file which was saved on the desktop.

Verification- 

• After running the above steps, from the command line of AMP, tail the visualrf_migration.log located under /var/log/visualrf.

• Login to the GUI of AMP to confirm that VisualRF module displays the imported floor plans.
