Restoring the Production Site

After a DR event, you restore the production site to operation manually.

Procedure

  1. Bring the appliances at the production site back on line and make sure they're properly configured.
    If the DR leader (Production-A) has been rebuilt and must re-join the cluster:
    • Run dr-config using the same setup and DR parameters as the original configured.
    • On production-A issue key-join.
  2. Ensure that each pair of appliances in the quad is properly set-up as an FT pair and has re-joined the cluster, if necessary.
    From the CLI for each appliance, issue the info command to view the appliance configuration settings. See Task A, Initial Setup, for more information. Use the dr-check command to view DR join status.
  3. At the backup site, issue the dr-restore command. This command restores activity at the production site and reestablishes DR processes. The dr-restore command is only active on the Backup site appliances and is normally issued from Backup-A.

Example

Note: dr-restore sends full copies of store data to the production site and re-initializes the production servers. This process can be time-consuming and should not be interrupted.
