Disaster Recovery and GSPS

Hi all.
I have recently been investigating the GSPS model.
I would like to know how the GSPS model provides for Disaster Recovery(Incedent Response Planning, Disaster Recovery Planning and Business Continuity Planning).
Any links or documents related to that topic would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ibrahim

Ever wondered why you can get water or soda in a plastic bottle, but notBeer? It's becauseplastic is more porous than glass, which could allow the beer to go flat. But science marches on, and now Mitsubishi Plastics says it will provide one-liter plastic bottles to Kirin that have aspecial coating– " a thin carbon film on the inside that makes them 10 times better at preventing the loss of oxygen." Will it work? We'll be sending SpiceWorkers over to Japan to test the new bottles as soon as they're on the market.

Welcome to the SQL Server Disaster Recovery and Availability Forum

(Edited 8/14/2009 to correct links - Paul)
Hello everyone and welcome to the SQL Server Disaster Recovery and Availability forum. The goal of this Forum is to offer a gathering place for SQL Server users to discuss:
Using backup and restore
Using DBCC, including interpreting output from CHECKDB and related commands
Diagnosing and recovering from hardware issues
Planning/executing a disaster recovery and/or high-availability strategy, including choosing technologies to use
The forum will have Microsoft experts in all these areas and so we should be able to answer any question. Hopefully everyone on the forum will contribute not only questions, but opinions and answers as well. I’m looking forward to seeing this becoming a vibrant forum.
This post has information to help you understand what questions to post here, and where to post questions about other technologies as well as some tips to help you find answers to your questions more quickly and how to ask a good question. See you in the group!

How to ask a good question
Make sure to give all the pertinent information that people will need to answer your question. Questions like “I got an IO error, any ideas?” or “What’s the best technology for me to use?” will likely go unanswered, or at best just result in a request for more information. Here are some ideas of what to include:
For the “I got an IO error, any ideas?” scenario:
The exact error message. (The SQL Errorlog and Windows Event Logs can be a rich source of information. See the section on error logs below.)
What were you doing when you got the error message?
When did this start happening?
Any troubleshooting you’ve already done. (e.g. “I’ve already checked all the firmware and it’s up-to-date” or "I've run SQLIOStress and everything looks OK" or "I ran DBCC CHECKDB and the output is <blah>")
Any unusual occurrences before the error occurred (e.g. someone tripped the power switch, a disk in a RAID5 array died)
If relevant, the output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’
The SQL Server version and service pack level
For the “What’s the best technology for me to use?” scenario:
What exactly are you trying to do? Enable local hardware redundancy? Geo-clustering? Instance-level failover? Minimize downtime during recovery from IO errors with a single-system?
What are the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you must meet? (e.g. an uptime percentage requirement, a minimum data-loss in the event of a disaster requirement, a maximum downtime in the event of a disaster requirement)
What hardware restrictions do you have? (e.g. “I’m limited to a single system” or “I have several worldwide mirror sites but the size of the pipe between them is limited to X Mbps”)
What kind of workload does you application have? (or is it a mixture of applications consolidated on a single server, each with different SLAs) How much transaction log volume is generated?
What kind of regular maintenance does your workload demand that you perform (e.g. “the update pattern of my main table is such that fragmentation increases in the clustered index, slowing down the most common queries so there’s a need to perform some fragmentation removal regularly”)
Finding the Logs
You will often find more information about an error by looking in the Error and Event logs. There are two sets of logs that are interesting:
SQL Error Log: default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\MSSQL\LOG (Note: The # changes depending on the ID number for the installed Instance. This is 1 for the first installation of SQL Server, but if you have mulitple instances, you will need to determine the ID number you’re working with. See the BOL for more information about Instance ID numbers.)
Windows Event Log: Go to the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu. The System event log will show details of IO subsystem problems. The Application event log will show details of SQL Server problems.

hi,I have a question on sql database high availability. I have tried using database mirroring, where I am using sql standard edition, in this database mirroring of synchronous mode is the only option available, and it is giving problem, like sql time out errors on my applicatons since i had put in the database mirroring, as asynchronous is only available on enterprise version, is there any suggestions on this. thanks ---vijay

SCCM 2012 R2 Disaster Recovery and the SCCMContentLib

Hello all...
Starting to update our DR recovery strategy to separate servers for SCCM 2012 R2, and I am wondering if there is anything special that needs to be considered when "replicating" the SCCMContentLib from one server to another server?
Is simply copying over the folders/files enough (via RoboCopy or another tool)? Besides the folders/files is there something else that needs to be copied that maps the Content Library so its functional on a different server?
Any insight/tips/tricks are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

How to Create DR (Disaster Recovery) and/or SB (Stand by) in 9i

Dear All,
I have to ask how can I create SB & DR.
I have a database for which I need SB and DR.
Please help me in this regard.
Aqeel Nawaz

Hi Aqeel,
I have to ask how can I create SB & DR.There are LOTS of choices!
Personally, I like using grographicalkly distributed RAC over dark fiber for DR:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_extended_rac_disaster_recovery.htm
But you can also use Data Guard and Streams for DR sites:

Sys and system schema are expired & locked after doing disaster recovery.

Hi All,
In one of our development database, I performed disaster recovery and it was successfull.
After completing thre recovery, sys and system schema are expired & locked.
So, I am not able to perform any kind of operation which is performed by sys and system user.
Database Version : 11g r2
Operating system : Red hat 5.5
Please kindly suggest me, How can i solve this problem?
Thanks,

Disaster Recovery - Managed Server Startup

We are testing some disaster recovery and want to be able to start our managed servers on our B node in MSI mode while the A node with admin server is down. It tests fine and works with nodemanager running. However, we want to assume that there has been a jvm problem on one or more managed servers and they have ceased to run on the B node. When I run the startManagedWebLogic.cmd and plug in my managed server name and admin link (which is obviously unreachable), I get the message below. I copied down the managed servers info (there is no 'config' folder as mentioned in the Oracle instructions so I copied down the 6 server folder into \common\bin\config\acr2 folder). Any tips on getting this to work?

So no one has ever had to restart a managed server on a clustered environment when the admin was down? Seems like this would be a common disaster recovery item that would be needed. If anyone has this working please provide details. These details found in Oracle documentation are a bit incomplete...
Starting a Managed Server in MSI Mode
To start up a Managed Server in MSI mode:
1.Ensure that the Managed Server’s root directory contains the config subdirectory.
If the config directory does not exist, copy it from the Administration Server’s root directory or from a backup to the Managed Server’s root directory.
Note: Alternatively, you can use the -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=path startup option to specify a root directory that already contains these files.
2.Start the Managed Server at the command line or using a script.
The Managed Server will run in MSI mode until it is contacted by its Administration Server. For information about restarting the Administration Server in this scenario, see Restarting a Failed Administration Server.

Lync Server 2013 - Disaster Recovery Plan

Hi All,
I am looking for a document which has the information about the different scenarios regarding High Availability and Disaster Recovery and things to perform during that situation
Eg.
If a front end Server is failed. then the load will be moved to another front end server in the pool
similarly back end Server fails, then the load gets moves back to SQL mirroring server by SQL Witness server

SharePoint 2010 backup and restore to test SharePoint environment - testing Disaster recovery

We have a production SharePoint 2010 environment with one Web/App server and one SQL server.
We have a test SharePoint 2010 environment with one server (Sharepoint server and SQL server) and one AD (domain is different from prod environment).
Servers are Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2.
Versions are the same on prod and test servers.
We need to setup a test environment with the exact setup as production - we want to try Disaster recovery.
We have performed backup of farm from PROD and we wanted to restore it on our new server in test environment.Backup completed successfully with no errors.
We have tried to restore the whole farm from that backup on test environment using Central administration, but we got message - restore failed with errors.
We choosed NEW CONFIGURATION option during restore, and we set new database names...
Some of the errors are:
FatalError: Object User Profile Service Application failed in event OnPreRestore. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.
SPException: The specified user or domain group was not found.
Warning: Cannot restore object User Profile Service Application because it failed on backup.

Aborted due to error in another component.
Could you please help us to resolve these issues?

I'd totally agree with this. Full fledged functionality isn't the aim of DR, getting the functional parts of your platform back-up before too much time and money is lost.
Anything I can add would be a repeat of what Jesper has wisely said but I would very much encourage you to look at these two resources: -

RMAN backup and restore for Disaster Recovery

Hi Guys,
I am very new to Oracle and have a question about RMAN backup and restore feature. I am simulating a disaster recovery scenario by having two VMs running oracle 11g, say hosta and hostb, hosta is sort of production db and the other a disaster recovery db (one that will be made primary when disaster occurs). My goal is to backup production db using RMAN and restore it on the other machine. For some reason when I restore the db on hostb, the command restores the previous backup but not the most recent one e.g. I took a backup yesterday (09/20) and applied it to the hostb that worked fine, but when I try to apply a fresh backup from today (09/21) it always picks up the old backup. Here's a dump of the screen:
Starting restore at 21-SEP-11

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help here. I redid everything all over again to get all the information you guys wanted. Since I noticed that more eyes are looking into this I am going to reiterate my steps one more time followed by specific answers to questions. My first backup on Host B is located under ..../restore_db/backupset whereas the subsequent one is under .../restore_db/backupset/backupset2.
I take backup on Host A using:
rman target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
backup spfile;
quit;
I restore the backup on Host B using:
set dbid=13732232063;
startup force nomount;
restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110928T171830_787gbpxh_.bkp'
shutdown immediate;
startup force nomount;
restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20110928T171638_787gbkxn_.bkp'
quit;
/* restart rman here */
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset' noprompt;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
quit;
I take another backup on Host A using (notice no spfile backup this time):
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
quit;
I restore the database on Host B using:
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/backupset2' noprompt;
recover database;
alter database open;
quit;
Output of List Backup of database (I have done this after I recovered the second time, also note that it is referring to backupset2 which is were my second backup is stored)

Disaster Recovery in Windows 2003/Cluster, SQL 2000 and R3

Hi,
Can someone share experience/knowledge of disaster recovery scenarios in MSCS/SQL Server/SAP. One of our customer has R3/SQL Server2000/Win 2003 (Cluster).
We would like to evaluate best possible options for the Disaster Recovery which are supported by SAP.
We have thought about
1. Log shipping
2. Standby Database
3. Restore backup on new cluster
4. Homogeneous System copy.
We do not want to go for first two and would like to explore on 3rd and 4th option.
Any links to documents/blogs will be helpful.
Thanks,
Manoj

> I am confused. Option 3 will be restoring backup
Yes - but what will you restore? Everything? If you're running on a cluster it's unlikely that both nodes will fail at the same time so there is still one node that can and will run the software, no?
> and 4 will be sapinst. Isn't it? Are both options supported by SAP?
Yes.
> Is there a SAP standard documentation for building cluster from scratch and build SAP system from backup or sapinst for DR?
The standard installation documentation cover a cluster installation.
> I am sure there will be installation document if it is a fresh installation. But not sure if there is one for DR.
If you have a cluster then you have a high availability already. If a node fails, you will "just" reinstall that node and put it back into the cluster.
What kind of DR scenario are you thinking about?

BusinessObjects Content recovery and Disaster recovery in BO BI 4.0

Dear All,
Could u please guid us how to do step by step Business Objects Content recovery and Disaster recovery in BO 4.0 .We used to do it in XI 3.1 ,but it was found some changes in 4.0 .
Thank you in advance for your support and help .
regards,
Mohammed

Hello Ramakrishna,
Try to see on which kind of objects, the issue is ocurring. I mean try to see if you migrate only universes if it works. Then Crystal reports,...
We have a bug ADAPT01588140 which gives a similar error message (FWM 04011) and that should be fix in SP02 Patch 9 (should be release very soon)
This bug is about migrating reports that contains instances in xls or pdf format.
So might be worth to install the fix when it's out to see if it solves the issue for you also.
Thanks
Philippe

SQL Server 2005 High Availability and Disaster Recovery options

Hi, We are are working on a High Availability & Disaster Recovery Planning solution for an application database which is on SQL Server 2005. What different options have we got to implement this for SQL Server 2005 and after we have everything setup how
do we test the failover is working?
Thanks in advance.........

DR : Disaster recovery is the best option for the business to minimize their data loss and downtime. The SQL server has a number of native options. But, everything is depends upon your recovery time objective RTO and recovery point objective RPO.
1. Data center disaster
Geo Clustering
2. Server(Host)/Drive (Except shared drive) disaster
Clustering
3. Database/Drive disaster
Database mirroring
Log shipping
Replication
Log shipping
Log shipping is the process of automating the full database backup and transaction log on a production server and then automatically restores them on to the secondary (standby) server.
Log shipping will work either Full or Bulk logged recovery model.
You can also configure log shipping in the single SQL instance.
The Stand by database can be either restoring or read only (standby).
The manual fail over is required to bring the database online.
Some data can be lost (15 minutes).
Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
Peer-to-peer transactional replication is designed for applications that might read or might modify the data in any database that participates in replication. Additionally, if any servers that host the databases are unavailable, you can modify the application
to route traffic to the remaining servers. The remaining servers contain same copies of the data.
Clustering
Clustering is a combination of one or more servers it will automatically allow one physical server to take over the tasks of another physical server that has failed. Its not a real disaster recovery solution because if the shared drive unavailable we cannot
bring the database to online.
Clustering is best option it provides a minimum downtime (like 5 minutes) and data loss in case any data center (Geo) or server failure.
Clustering needs extra hardware/server and it’s more expensive.
Database mirroring
Database mirroring introduced in 2005 onwards. Database Mirroring maintain an exact copy of a database on a different server. It has automatic fail over option and mainly helps to increase the database availability too.
Database mirroring only works FULL recovery model.
This needs two instances.
Mirror database always in restoring state.

HADR Considerations
Need to Understand the business motivations and regulatory requirements that are driving the customer's HA/DR requirements. Understand how your customer categorizes the workload from an HA/DR perspective. There is likely to be an alignment between the needs
and categorization.
Check for both the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) for different workload categories, for both a failure within a data center (local high availability) and a total data center failure (disaster recovery). While RPO and
RTO vary for different workloads because of business, cost, or technological considerations, customers may prefer a single technical solution for ease in operations. However, a single technical solution may require trade-offs that need to be discussed with
customers so that their expectations are set appropriately.
Check and understand if there is an organizational preference for a particular HA/DR technology. Customers may have a preference because of previous experiences, established operational procedures, or simply the desire for uniformity across databases from
different vendors. Understand the motives behind a preference: A customers' preference for HA/DR may not be because of the functions and features of the HA/DR technology. For example, a customer may decide to adopt a third-party solution for DR to maintain
a single operational procedure. For this reason, using HA/DR technology provided by a SAN vendor (such as EMC SRDF) is a popular approach.
To design and adopt an HA/DR solution it is also important to understand the implications of applying maintenance to both hardware and software (including Windows security patching). Database mirroring is often adopted to minimize the service disruption
to achieve this objective.
HADR Options :
Failover clustering for HA and database mirroring for DR.
Synchronous database mirroring for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Geo-cluster for HA/DR and log shipping for additional DR.
Failover clustering for HA and storage area network (SAN)-based replication for DR.
Peer-to-peer replication for HA and DR (and reporting).
Backup & Restore ( DR)
keep your server DB backups in network location ( DR)
Always keep your sql server 2005 upto date, in case if you are not getting any official support from MS then you have to take care of any critical issues and more..

How to configure high availability and disaster recovery? And user authenticate

We are in the process of rolling out our online help which was created using Robohelp. In our initial rollout we will provide access to the files via our Client Portal which requires authentication. We are also planning for our next version where we intend to implement Robohelp server functionality.
Our IT team is looking at options on how to configure for High Availability and Disaster Recovery. It seems that Robohelp doesn't have any built-in functionality in this area. In addition we require that our users authenticate. The options for the server version seem to be more internally focused and we would need to solution the authentication using a third party.
Would anyone be willing to share their approach in these areas? Would you be willing to participate in a conference call with our IT Professionals?

Hello again
I see my good friend Peter replied to your LInkedIn post where you cross-posted the same question. For those here that have no clue what Peter stated, here it is:
What are you seeking to recover? Your projects? Your outputs? This sounds like a question more appropriate to Disaster Recovery consultants and far wider reaching than RoboHelp. To me it seems like a question your IT people should be asking direct to such consultants who would expect a fee for their advice.
I would agree with Peter's reply.
I'll also go further and ask what exactly is being done in this realm for the application? Help files generally are there to support an application on the server. So whatever you are doing for the applciation should also be able to be used for the WebHelp, FlashHelp or web based AIR Help files, no?
Cheers... Rick
