Hello,
I am trying to setup a DR site for our portal system. We are using EMC Recover Point to do the SAN replication between Production and DR site. We are using MSCS cluster with one CI and DI in Production. For DR, we are planning to go with a distributed installation with one portal and database node.
Can I create the DR system using System copy assuming that the SID is going to be the same, and the host names/IP addresses are different. How can we make sure that the custom applications deployment in production is in sync with the DR site? I don't think replicating the database preserves everything as the Java system persists data in both the database and the file system, for example the Software Delivery Manager (SDM) is persisted in the file system.
So, how can I make sure that the file system is also gets replicated between production and DR site? Should I keep the DR system shutdown and bring it up for weekly sync up or it can run parallel with the production system?
Thanks.
