Hi all, Our DR Project Leader has decided to carry out the following exercise one Saturday.:- Switch from our Domino Production Server(S2321) to the DR Server(S2401) and run for several days, before switching back.
At the moment the DR server is the "Alternate Restore Server " for TDP databases and it also houses Transaction logs for the Production Server. =============================================== During this time the Production Server will be switched off. This is something we have not attempted before. The servers are not of identical hardware spec.. I thought I mention it, in case it has implications. My involvement will be on the TSM and TDP for Domino front only, and I am still worried! This will involve restoring the Notes non-database, restoring the databases files to the DR server and activating and applying transaction logs. I will need to initiate the daily standard TSM backup for the DR Server and I am not certain about the TDP for Domino backup ! Would it be wise to retain the old Domino node name (S2321_Domino)? Would it just add to the existing Domino backups ? It would be nice to have just one lot ! Would I need to set TDP Archive Log & TDP Inactivate log schedules too ? Or could I use the existing schedules (if using the old Domino node name (s2321_DOMINO)) Few days later I will need to worry about switching back . Any advice from someone who has experience would be much appreciated. Windows Server 2003 TSM Backup/Archive 5.2.2.0 TDP for Domino 5.1.5.01 T.I.A Bill
