This section describes the work done in the normal operation of Disaster Recovery.
Deployment of L-Platform, etc.
If there is updating on the main site, such as resource configuration information to do with an L-Platform deployment, for example, do the following to collect the information for Disaster Recovery switching.
Export the required information from the main site
As a backup in case of a failure in the main site, and where an environment has been constructed on the backup site that can be used for recovery, export the information as explained below.
L-Platform template
L-Platform configuration information
Resource information
Accounting information
Metering log
The following operations are recommended.
When changing the managed server configuration, export the information first, and maintain the latest system information
Export regularly, and update the data
The procedures for exporting the different pieces of information are as following.
Export the resource configuration information and user definition information (XML file).
Execute the rcxadm config export command to export Resource Configuration Information and User Definition Information (XML files).
For details on the rcxadm config export command, refer to "1.7.11 rcxadm config" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
Exports the L-Platform template and the L-Platform configuration information.
Execute the cfmg_exportconfig command to export the L-Platform template and the L-Platform configuration information.
Refer to "5.9 cfmg_exportconfig (Export Configuration Information)" in the "Reference Guide CE" for information on the cfmg_exportconfig command.
Exports the accounting information.
To export accounting information, execute the productmaintain export feature of the product maintenance command.
For details on the command for the maintenance of the product master, refer to "3.4 productmaintain (Product Master Maintenance)" in the "Reference Guide CE".
Output metering logs.
For details on the command for the maintenance of the product master, refer to "3.4 productmaintain (Product Master Maintenance)" in the "Reference Guide CE".
Refer to "3.1 ctchg_getmeterlog (Output Metering Logs)" in the "Reference Guide CE" for information on the metering log output.
Back up directory service information
Backs up the directory service information.
Note
Do not export the information listed earlier at the same time as operations that modify that information, such as the deploying, returning, or modifying of L-Platforms.
Back up firewall configurations
When configuring a firewall automatically using the auto-configuration function for network devices, it is recommended to use the network device configuration backup command or the management software configuration backup function, and operate as follows:
After configuring auto-configuration of the firewall, back up the configuration and collect the newest configuration.
Back up firewall configurations regularly.
When backing up the configurations of firewalls regularly, collect the configuration immediately after collecting resource configuration information and user definition information (XML files), and back up at the same time.
Back up Execution information in sample scripts
When using the rulesets of sample scripts for firewall auto-configuration with the network device auto-configuration function, the file storing the information required to execute scripts will be backed up in the following folder:
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\var\lserver_repair\ruleset_backup
Back up information under the control of the above-mentioned folder after exporting various information on the primary site.
The above-mentioned folder might been changed by the parameter set to the following tuning parameter file.
When changing the destination folder, configure the following parameter in the tuning parameter file:
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\manager_backup.rcxprop
Storage destination folder for the execution information file in ruleset_backup_dir=sample scripts |
Acquire the storage replication information
Check the corresponding LUNs used to perform storage unit replication for the primary and backup sites.
Create a replication definition file which describes LUN relations. When using dynamic LUN mirroring storage of ETERNUS, since the target LUNs to be replicated are added by the deployment of L-Platforms, create the replication definition file using the rcxrepdef command. Specify that file and create the file to perform mapping of LUNs in the backup site resources from the relation lists during import.
To create this file, execute the rcxstorage command with the -recovery and -mode options. Specify "prepare" for the -mode option.
For details on replication definition files, refer to "Replication Definition Files" in "14.1.3 Storage Chassis High Availability".
For details on the rcxrepdef command, refer to "1.7.14 rcxrepdef" in the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
For details on the rcxstorage command, refer to "1.7.13 rcxstorage" of the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
