Migrating or reinstalling IBM Spectrum Virtualize 3-Site Orchestrator

Edit online

3-Site Orchestrator migration might be necessary if the host system fails and cannot be recovered, or if it becomes necessary to migrate the 3-Site Orchestrator instance to another host.

Also, it might be necessary to reinstall 3-Site Orchestrator if the 3-Site Orchestrator installation is corrupted, or a similar catastrophic event occurs.

  1. Uninstall the 3-Site Orchestrator package to shut down the active 3-Site Orchestrator instance.
  2. Install the 3-Site Orchestrator package on the new host.
  3. Configure Secure Shell (SSH) key-based passwordless authentication between the new host and the systems.
  4. Use the mk3siteconfig command to create the 3-Site Orchestrator configuration.
  5. After the configuration is complete, restart the 3-Site Orchestrator host. Restarting the 3-Site Orchestrator host recovers all the 3-site objects on the target 3-Site Orchestrator host and starts data cycling for all available 3-Site Orchestrator consistency groups.
