Switching to Domino DR Server
2004-09-03 05:43:27
Hi all,
Our DR Project Leader has decided to carry out the following exercise one
Saturday.:-
Switch from our Domino Production Server(S2321) to the DR Server(S2401)
and run for
several days, before switching back.
At the moment the DR server is the "Alternate Restore Server " for TDP
databases and it
also houses Transaction logs for the Production Server.
===============================================
During this time the Production Server will be switched off. This is
something we have not
attempted before. The servers are not of identical hardware spec.. I
thought I mention it,
in case it has implications.
My involvement will be on the TSM and TDP for Domino front only, and I am
still worried!
This will involve restoring the Notes non-database, restoring the
databases files to the
DR server and activating and applying transaction logs.
I will need to initiate the daily standard TSM backup for the DR Server
and I am
not certain about the TDP for Domino backup !
Would it be wise to retain the old Domino node name (S2321_Domino)?
Would it just add to the existing Domino backups ?
It would be nice to have just one lot !
Would I need to set TDP Archive Log & TDP Inactivate log schedules too ?
Or could I use the existing schedules (if using the old Domino node name
(s2321_DOMINO))
Few days later I will need to worry about switching back .
Any advice from someone who has experience would be much appreciated.
Windows Server 2003
TSM Backup/Archive 5.2.2.0
TDP for Domino 5.1.5.01
