Enable the Geographic Redundancy replication between the two servers to ensure that the data gets continuously replicated between the primary and secondary System Manager servers.
Before you begin
Log on to the System Manager web console of the primary server.
Ensure that CLI passwords on primary and secondary System Manager servers do not expire.
60 days after the System Manager CLI password expires, Geographic Redundancy becomes nonoperational. You must set a new password on primary and secondary System Manager servers for Geographic Redundancy to become operational again.
About this task
Important:
During the configuration of Geographic Redundancy, the primary System Manager replicates the data between the primary and the secondary System Manager servers. Therefore, ensure that the system maintenance activities such as backup, restore, and shutdown are not in progress.
Procedure
On the System Manager web console, click Services > Geographic Redundancy.
Click Enable Replication.
The system displays the progress information in the Enable GR Status section.
Note:
Because the server becomes unavailable, you cannot gain access to the web console. Wait until the process is complete before you continue with the next step.
If the enabling process is successful, the system displays the Geographic Redundancy replication status as Enabled. If the process fails, the system displays an error message with the replication status as Failed on the primary the System Manager web console. The primary server remains in the failed state while the secondary server rolls back to the previous state. Verify if the system has raised an alarm for a temporary network connectivity failure. Retry when the network connectivity is restored. If the problem persists, contact Avaya service personnel.
