Restoring the Messaging System

Requests to have the MERLIN Messaging System perform a restore must be initiated by the System Manager and should be originated via the terminal interface. When you request a system restore, the MERLIN Messaging System reads data that was previously stored on the PC Card during a successful backup and writes it to the MERLIN Messaging System hard disk.


Note:

 

 

 

  • Before the MERLIN Messaging System performs a restore, the MERLIN Messaging System module should be either a new module or a module that has been reinitialized to factory default settings. Contact the Lucent Technologies Helpline for more information.
  • The MERLIN Messaging System must be in idle status for the restore process to begin. If any voice messaging ports are in use (that is, off hook), the restore request will be rejected.
  • The MERLIN Messaging System voice messaging services are not available while a restore is in progress.
  • If the restore process fails, the MERLIN Messaging System logs this as a critical event.
  • Once initiated, the restore process cannot be interrupted by the System Manager.
  • The system automatically restarts following a successful restore. The current terminal session is dropped and cannot be reestablished until the system has rebooted itself. You must re–established a remote or local terminal session to perform subsequent functions.
