Bringing up the recovery Infrastructure Management Server after a disaster

Perform the following steps to bring up the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server after a disaster.

Using the Calbro Services example, this section explains the steps to bring up the server at New York, newyork.calbro.com, after the server at Amsterdam, amsterdam.calbro.com, failed.
StepTaskDescription
1

Set the DNS server

On the DNS server, make the appropriate changes so that the DNS alias redirects to the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

2

Transfer the latest \pw files

If no storage replication system is used, transfer the latest \pw files from the backed up source to the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

Note: BMC recommends that you use any third-party file synchronization and backup software to transfer the \pw directory because traditional copying can result in any unexpected failure.

3

Restore the database files

For information about the restore procedure, see pw database.

4Start the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server
  • (Windows) From the system icon tray, right-click the Infrastructure Management icon, and click Server Start.
  • (Linux) Access the pw command-line interface, and enter the pw system start command.

Note

If you have problems with starting the service, ensure that the dbCmdLine.conf file is updated with the database name. The file is located in the following directory:

  • (Windows) pw\sybase
  • (Linux) pw/sybase
5

Validate the configuration

  1. Launch the operator console by using the alias name set for the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server in a browser.
    For the Calbro Services example, access the console through the following URL:

    http://pronet
  2. Validate the data by using the FlashCheck option.

     For more details about the FlashCheck option, see Examining current data (FlashCheck).
6

Configure the remote event cells

This step enables the remote event cells to retrieve the IP address of the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

To configure a remote event cell

  1. To flush and reset the cache, open a command prompt on a remote event cell and run the following command:
    ipconfig /flushdns
  2. Restart the remote cell.
  3. Configure all the other remote event cells using the same procedure.

Decision or requirement
Your entry
Update the DNS server so that the DNS alias redirects to the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. 
Transfer the recently backed-up \pw files from the backup source to the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. 
Restore the database files. 
Start the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server and validate the configuration. 
Configure the remote event cell or cells. 

Bringing back the primary Infrastructure Management Server

After you fix the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, you can switch the operations from the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server back to the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

To bring up the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, follow the steps for bringing up the recovery Infrastructure Management Server (SAP SQL Anywhere) after a disaster and interchange the steps that you performed between the primary and recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers.
