Switching to failover configuration with NCIM topology database high availability
You can modify an existing failover architecture to include NCIM topology database high availability.
About this task
Note: In previous Network Manager releases,
users could include an NCIM topology database failover configuration
by using NCIM replication (also referred to as NCIM topology database
replication). The NCIM replication feature has been replaced by the
high availability feature that is provided by the supported database:
- If you have a Db2® database, you can use the High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) feature to set up failover for NCIM.
- If you have an Oracle database, you can use the Real Application Clusters (RAC) feature to set up failover for NCIM.
Procedure
- Set up NCIM topology database high availability by using
the high availability feature that is provided by the supported database.
If you have a Db2 database,
follow the procedures described in the Db2 documentation
to configure a failover configuration for the NCIM topology database
using the HADR feature. See Related information later for links to
your Db2 Information Center.
If you have a Oracle database, follow the procedures
described in the Oracle documentation to set up the Real Application
Clusters (RAC) high availability environment. Using Oracle RAC, you
can create a high availability setup for your NCIM topology database.
For information on how to install and configure Oracle RAC, see Related
information later for a link to the Oracle documentation.
