Create the following files on the primary and backup sites.
Create the mapping definitions of physical servers [Physical L-Server switchover (physical OS), Physical/Virtual L-Server switchover (VM host/VM guest)]
If you want to change the names of physical servers on the primary and backup sites, create a mapping definition.
This file must be located in the MAP folder under the switchover information folder and be a csv file which includes the following content.
#PhysicalServer |
Server1-1 and Server1-2 are the server names on the primary site.
Server2-1 and Server2-2 are the corresponding server names on backup site.
For details on the physical server mapping definitions, refer to "A.2 rcxrecovery".
Create the mapping definitions of VM management software [Physical/virtual L-Server switchover (VM host/VM guest), virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest)]
If you want to change the names of VM management software on the primary and backup sites, create a mapping definition.
This file must be located in the MAP folder under the switchover information folder and be a csv file which includes the following content.
#VMManagementSoftware VMM1-1,VMM2-1 VMM1-2,VMM2-2 |
VMM1-1 and VMM1-2 are the VM management software names on the primary site.
VMM2-1 and VMM2-2 are the corresponding VM management software names on the backup site.
For details on the mapping definitions of VM management software, refer to "A.2 rcxrecovery".
Create a definition file of VM management software [Physical/virtual L-Server switchover (VM host/VM guest)]
Create the following file under the switchover information folder. This file is used to register VM management software to Resource Orchestrator on the switchover destination site.
vmmgr_file.txt
The format of the VM management software definition file is shown below. Note that the first line of the example below is to explain the content of the file, so do not include this line in the actual file.
For details on the VM management software definition file, refer to "A.2 rcxrecovery".
name soft name ip user name password physical-lserver vcenter, vmware-vc, 192.168.1.24, admin, admin, yes scvmm, ms-scvmm, 192.168.100.77, root, root, no |
Note
When using virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest), do not create this file.
Create a VM pool definition file [Virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest)]
Create the file defining VM hosts on which the switchover target virtual L-Server is operating under the switchover information folder using the following file name.
vm_pool.csv
The format of the VM pool definition file is shown below. Specify the VM pool name of the switchover source site for vmpool_name, and the VM host of the switchover destination site to register in the vmpool_name in the switchover destination site for vmhost_name. When registering multiple VM hosts in a VM pool, enter multiple lines. For details on the pool definition files, refer to "A.2 rcxrecovery".
#vmpool_name,vmhost_name |
Note
When performing physical/virtual L-Server switchover (VM host/VM guest), do not create this file.
Information
By configuring the number of VM pools specified in the VM pool in the file above as one smaller than that of the switchover source site, the number of VM hosts can be reduced on the switchover destination site.
