What is the way to get back to the previous mcserver.xml
Hey Folks,
We have recently upgraded the MCS from 7.0.2 to 7.1 .
We have made certain changes in mcserver.xml in version 7.0.2 as per our environment requirement , but post up gradation the mcserver.xml has set to the default settings .
We don't keep any copy of mcserver.xml for the reference .
Is there any way to get the old configuration details ?
Thanks in advance .

The MCS database is flushed and backed up to the GSAN, typically once per hour plus as well as during each checkpoint operation.
You can get a list of these backups with the following command
avtar --backups --acnt=/MC_BACKUPS | less
Example:
avtar Info <7377>: Backups for /MC_BACKUPS as of 2012-01-05 11:18:37 GMT
Date Time Seq Label Size Plugin Working directory Targets
---------- -------- ----- ----------------- ---------- -------- --------------------- -------------------
2012-01-05 10:45:05 8723 46599K Linux /usr/local/avamar var/mc/server_data
2012-01-05 08:45:06 8722 46567K Linux /usr/local/avamar var/mc/server_data
2012-01-05 08:00:24 8721 46562K Linux /usr/local/avamar var/mc/server_data
You can extract the MC flush to a directory to get a copy of the mcserver.xml using a command like this
avtar -x --path=/MC_BACKUPS --labelnum=8723 --target=/tmp/ var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml

Do you have another grid configured the same way?
