Preparing the management subsystem for disaster recovery on VMware
Prepare a Management subsystem for disaster recovery by taking specific steps before and after the installation of the subsystem.
About this task
- This task must be performed before any disaster event occurs, and also prior to the installation of a replacement Management subsystem during the recovery process. Best practice is to complete these steps immediately after initial configuration of a management subsystem during your original v10 deployment.
- Any
local
backups are presumed to have been lost in the disaster scenario and are non-recoverable in this procedure.
Important: Successful disaster recovery depends on recovery of both
the Management subsystem and the Developer Portal
subsystem. You must complete preparation steps for both subsystems in order to achieve disaster
recovery. If you have to perform a restore, you must complete the restoration of the Management
Service first, and then immediately restore the Developer Portal. Therefore, the backups of the
Management and Portal must be taken at the same time, to ensure that the Portal sites are consistent
with Management database.
