Enabling high availability across data centers
The following examples show the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor high availability configuration across two data centers and assume that the names of data centers are DC1 and DC2.
About this task
The examples meet the following criteria:
- A database server in one of the data centers is in active mode, which means applications can connect to the data server; the database server in the other data center is in standby mode.
- The active database is replicated from one data center to the standby database server in the other data center.
When you configure IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor high
availability across data centers, there are two different options based on whether an IBM Sterling Control Center
Monitor EP in the data center can connect
to the database server that is located in the other data center:
- The IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor EP in one data center can connect to the database server that is located in the other data center
- The IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor EP in one data center cannot connect to the database server that is located in the other data center
The following examples illustrate how to enable high availability across two data centers in the previous cases respectively.
