Install the Resource Orchestrator manager on the admin servers of the primary and backup sites.
For details, refer to the following sections in the "Setup Guide CE".
"Chapter 2 Installation"
"Chapter 3 SSL Communication Environment Settings for the ROR Console"
"Chapter 4 Login to the ROR Console"
"Chapter 5 License Setup and Confirmation"
"Chapter 6 Importing a Certificate to a Browser"
For Disaster Recovery environments, configure as follows.
For details on the items to match or to be different, between the primary and backup sites, refer to "Chapter 2 Design".
When the environment is configured so that disaster recovery is transparent to ROR console users, SVOM and VIOM need to be installed on the admin server of backup site under either of the following conditions. Once installation is complete, the conditions do not apply.
The admin server of primary site must be stopped
The network connecting to the primary site must be disconnected
When performing virtual L-Server switchover (VM guest), install VMware vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI) corresponding to the VMware vCenter Server version on the servers (such as admin servers) which can communicate with VMware vCenter Server.
Certificate files in the following folder on both the primary and backup sites must be the same files. When installing a manager on the backup site, copy the files from the primary site. Perform this operation after stopping the manager.
When configuring a single backup site to inherit multiple primary sites, copy the following files of the manager on the primary site that is first created to the managers on the other primary sites.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\certificate\
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.crt\
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.key\
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/certificate/
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/sys/apache/conf/ssl.crt/
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/sys/apache/conf/ssl.key/
After installing the manager, set up SSL if necessary.
For details, refer to "Chapter 2 Installation" and "Chapter 3 SSL Communication Environment Settings for the ROR Console" in the "Setup Guide CE".
Note
The site certificate that was issued by the CA should be used for the Disaster Recovery environment.
When test certificates are used, certificates on the backup site also need to be imported to the browser during installation or after switchover.
For details, refer to "Chapter 6 Importing a Certificate to a Browser" in the "Setup Guide CE".
When using Disaster Recovery, a license for the "DR option" is necessary.
After installing Resource Orchestrator, register the license for the "DR option" on the primary and backup sites.
For details on how to register the license, refer to "Chapter 5 License Setup and Confirmation" in the "Setup Guide CE".
For the image storage location folders of physical servers, specify the image folders created in "3.2 Creating Switchover Information Folders". For details on how to change the storage folders of image files, refer to "5.9 rcxadm imagemgr" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
For the Active-Active operation, set prefixes of software IDs according to "Appendix A Settings for Software ID Prefixes".
Specify the information of the failover information folders in the following definition files of the primary and backup sites.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\fa_dr.rcxprop
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/fa_dr.rcxprop
Lines other than the following that begin with sharp signs ("#") are comments in this definition file.
#rcxrepdef_define
#rcxstorage_define
#rcxmgrexport_define
#rcxrecovery_define
#dr_storagepool
#exclude_lserver
#salvage_define
Blank lines in this definition file are regarded as meaningless and skipped.
Example
[Windows Manager]
Enter the following descriptions, when using the folder configurations described as examples in "3.2 Creating Switchover Information Folders", and when mounting the switchover information folders replicated in the backup site on the E drive during switchover.
For #rcxstorage_define, enter the path for the "Folder containing switchover information".
For #rcxmgrexport_define, enter the path for "Folder which contains switchover information\ManagerExport".
For #rcxrecovery_define, enter the path on which the "Folder which contains switchover information" replicated from the switchover source site after the procedure in 4.2.5 Mounting the Switchover Information Folder [Switchover Destination Site]" will be mounted.
#rcxstorage_define |
[Linux Manager]
Enter the following descriptions, when using the folder configurations described as examples in "3.2 Creating Switchover Information Folders", and when mounting the switchover information folders replicated in the backup site on /DRImport during switchover.
For #rcxstorage_define, enter the path for the "Folder containing switchover information".
For #rcxmgrexport_define, enter the path for "Folder which contains switchover information/ManagerExport".
For #rcxrecovery_define, enter the path on which the "Folder which contains switchover information" replicated from the switchover source site after the procedure in 4.2.5 Mounting the Switchover Information Folder [Switchover Destination Site]" will be mounted.
#rcxstorage_define |
Information
Create the DR definition file "fa_dr.rcxprop" using the following sample files.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\fa_dr.rcxprop.sample
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/fa_dr.rcxprop.sample
When performing additional recovery after switchover operations, specify the information of the additional recovery information folder for the following definition files in the switchover source site.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data\fa_dr.rcxprop
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data/fa_dr.rcxprop
Example
[Windows Manager]
When using "C:\Users\Administrator\work\DRsalvage\Export" for the additional recovery information folder, describe it as follows:
#salvage_define |
[Linux Manager]
When using "/root/work/DRsalvage/Export" for the additional recovery information folder, describe it as follows:
#salvage_define |
Information
When leaving the switchover information from before switchover in the switchover information storage folder between a switchover operation and additional recovery operation, the switchover information storage folder can be specified as the additional recovery information folder.
[Windows Manager]
When using "D:\Export\ManagerExport" for the additional recovery information folder for "#rcxmgrexport_define" in this definition file, use the following definition:
#salvage_define |
[Linux Manager]
When using "/DRExport/Export/ManagerExport" for the additional recovery information folder for "#rcxmgrexport_define" in this definition file, use the following definition:
#salvage_define |
When using a switchover information storage folder as an additional recovery information folder, collect switchover information (using the rcxmgrexport command) again to confirm that the information used for additional recovery has not been overwritten.
Then perform additional recovery.
