4.5 Operation after Failback

This section explains the differences between the operation after failback to the switchover source site and the normal operation.

Invoicing Usage Charges

When switching back to the state before charging usage for the month when a disaster occurred using the switchover destination site

The person responsible for billing calculates and invoices tenants for usage during the month when a disaster occurred based on the usage charge file for the month at the switchover source site sent by the infrastructure administrator and the usage charge files sent from the switchover source and destination sites.

Refer to "4.3 Operation after Switchover" for information on how to calculate the usage charge.

When a failback occurred after usage charge has already been invoiced for the month when a disaster occurred at the switchover destination site, perform invoicing using the same procedure as the normal operation.

When Restoring the Switchover Destination Site after Failback

On the switchover destination site, perform the following procedure to restore it to the state it was in before the switchover operation.

  1. Restore the network device configurations to the state they were in before the switchover operation.

    The execution procedure is the same as the switchover operation procedure.

    For details, refer to "4.2.7 Restoring the Network Device Configuration of the Switchover Source Site [Switchover Destination Site]".

  2. Restore each configuration file to the state it was in before the switchover operation was performed.

    The execution procedure is the same as the switchover operation procedure.

    For details, refer to "4.2.8 Restoring the Configuration Files of the Switchover Source Site [Switchover Destination Site]" and "4.2.9 Reflecting the Changes to the Settings of the Switchover Source Site [Switchover Destination Site]".

  3. Execute the batch command specifying the configuration information of the switchover destination site prepared in advance.

    The execution procedure is the same as the switchover operation procedure.

    For details, refer to "4.2.12 Switchover Using the Batch Command [Switchover Destination Site]".

    For the prepared configuration information of the switchover destination site, refer to "4.2.1 Stopping Services and Releasing Resources [Switchover Destination Site]".

  4. Restore the directory service information. (When using Single Sign-On authentication)

    For details, refer to "4.2.13 Restoring Directory Service Information [Switchover Destination Site]".

  5. Check the imported L-Platform.

    For details, refer to "4.2.14 Checking Imported L-Platforms [Switchover Destination Site]".

  6. Recover usage charges.

    For details, refer to "4.2.15 Recovery of Usage Charges [Switchover Destination Site]".

  7. If the configuration for limitation of switchover scope is included in the configuration information collected during "4.2.15 Recovery of Usage Charges [Switchover Destination Site]", after execution of the batch command (rcxrecovery), execute the additional recovery command (rcxrecovery -salvage).

    The procedure to perform additional recovery is the same as the one at the switchover source site after a failback operation.

    For details, refer to "4.6 Additional Recovery Operation after Failback".

For the Active-Active operation, restore the status before the switchover by specifying tenants, which were cleaned up during the switchover procedure, using the -tenant option.

Example

In Active-Standby operation, confirm that all resources switched from the switchover source site to the switchover destination site by switchover have been restored on the switchover source site by failback, and then execute the batch command by specifying the prepared configuration information of the switchover destination site.

[Windows Manager]

>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxrecovery -dir C:\Users\Administrator\work\Export -vmmgr vmmgr_file <RETURN>

[Linux Manager]

# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxrecovery -dir /root/work/Export -vmmgr vmmgr_file <RETURN>

For details on the rcxrecovery command for batch execution, refer to "B.2 rcxrecovery".

In the Active-Active operation, the batch command should be used when restoring the tenants on the switchover destination site cleaned up following "4.2.1 Stopping Services and Releasing Resources [Switchover Destination Site]" after tenants that were switched over to the switchover destination site by a switchover operation are switched back to the switchover source site.

When executing the command, specify the tenants that were cleaned up and the configuration information of the switchover destination site that was prepared beforehand, using the option.

[Windows Manager]

>Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxrecovery -dir C:\Users\Administrator\work\Export -tenant TenantA -vm_pool pool_file <RETURN>

[Linux Manager]

# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxrecovery -dir /root/work/Export -tenant TenantA -vm_pool pool_file <RETURN>

For details on the rcxrecovery command for batch execution, refer to "B.2 rcxrecovery".
