Implementing Disaster Recovery

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are implementing Disaster Recovery for our servers.

We have restored production data, CI & application servers file system data in our DR Site.

We have started DB & CI.

Our hostname of the servers in Primary Site & DR Site are same, IP address are different.

Before starting application servers whether we need to change any parameters in application server so that this application server has to point CI in DR site.

Thanks & Regards

Another option is to use the QA box as ur DR and keep it in separate location.

You can use TSM for storing your backup in a remote location.

When any DR occurs you can take the backup & redologs from the TSM server and restore in your QA.

Hi!

If I read correctly you're trying to replicate your production environment into a different network segment to simulate a desaster recovery situation. The only 'safe' option I can think of is keeping the networks completely isolated from each other. If you cannot guarantee that no DR-server will be able to reach any primary server (any connected BI, PI, EP system etc.) I'd not start this up...

For configurations to check: Typically connections are hostname based so that a correct DNS setup for the DR environment should be enough...nonetheless, there's the possibility that IPs are being used directly (RFC connections, printers, etc.) which can be quite dangerous.
