HI, Nope. Only the other way. Only if a sub dies will it get the DB from the pub. If the pub dies you have to reinstall the SW on the pub then restore from the backup file. Keep a record of the IP address, hostname and probably IP addresses and passwords.
cr*p. Forgot what to do with the subscribers. I think they just re-synchronized. I rebuit a 5.1 pub about 1.5 years ago and the sub wasn't in the same building but the phones registerd to it and dbsync looked good when I left (at 3:00am). But Db sync issues developed a couple days later. Not sure if they were just the usual 5.1 db bugs that were floating around or I should have re-did the subscriber too. It's important to keep and check your disaster recovery backups and store them off the CCM box and possibly off-site. Usually SFTP the backup file to a windows server where your enterprise backup software will put it on tape. If you have a DR site, you can store the backup file on a server at the DR site. You should be able to really simulate a pub failure by turning off the power to the VM. One of the times you do it, it might not come back up and give a kernal panic message. Make sure your pub is on a UPS with redundant power supply and keep people away from the power switch. lol (ok, not funny. 3am) ________________________________ From: ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com [ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com] On Behalf Of S Maclean [sdmac...@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 11:59 AM To: ccie_voice@onlinestudylist.com Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] PUB DR Simulation Any thoughts.. I’m simulating a PUB failure in my VM lab with 6.1, does the DRS restore mechanism make it reach out to the existing subscribers during the restore? I have 1 PUB and 2 SUB in the scenario. If it does reach out, can I do it isolated, ie just build the PUB on it’s own? What's the best way to do this? ________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free.
