Configuring the recovery Infrastructure Management Server (SAP SQL Anywhere)

After you configure the remote event cells, you must configure the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

For the Calbro Services example, this section explains steps required to configure the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, newyork.calbro.com, for disaster recovery.

Step 1: Stop the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server

To stop the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, run the pw system stop command on the primary server.

Note

If both primary and secondary servers are on the same network, you must stop Infrastructure Management on the primary server before installing the software on the recovery server. After the recovery server is installed and configured, and then turned off with the pw system stop command, you can restart the primary server with the pw system start command.

If you forget to do this, the installation will fail with an error, because SAP SQL Anywhere Database does not allow two instances with the same name on the same network.

Step 2: Install the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server on the recovery server

Step 3: Edit the hosts files

Step 7: End additional processes

If the following processes are running on your computer, end the processes.

  • (Linux) Pproxsrv

Step 8: Copy the configuration files

Copy the entire \pw directory from the primary TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server to the \pw directory of the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.

Note

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

Step 9: Clear all the log files

On the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, navigate to the \pw\pronto\logs directory, and move all the log files to a backup directory.

Step 10: Start the recovery TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server
