Disaster Recovery steps for BO

BO XI R2 SP 1
Oracle10g
Windows 2003
We would like to do a drill for BO recovery and need to know what proper steps would be required.
This is so far I understand; if I'm missing something then please advise.
Take backups of Prod CMS, PMDB and Data warehouse schemas
Restore all these schema's in the DR (disaster recovery) database
Now the issue is when we restore CMS; it shows Prod server information and Infoview doesn't let you log in.
Appreciate any assistance. Thanks

Hi Tim - Thanks for sharing the guide; it was very helpful.
I still have one question;
suppose we take the backup of schemas from production database server connecting to production BO server, say BOPRODmachine.domain.com
and then we restore all schemas in disaster recovery server database and file store on disaster recovery BO server, say BODRmachine.domain.com
How will the restored CMS data recognized this new disaster recovery BO server?
We tried to do that and BODRmachine shows that all servers are running on BOPRODmachine in CMC -> Servers
When we tried to connect via Infoview, it didn't let us as server name was different.
Do we have to rebuild the database for CMS on disaster revocery environment before starting the CMS server?
Please advise. Thanks

Hyperion 9.3.1 Disaster Recovery Steps For Restoring Prod Backups Into QA ?

Hello All:
We run Hyperion 9.3.1.1 (SQL back end) and I was wondering what the correct steps are for restoring sql backups from PROD into QA?
Does anyone have any experience with this? I've tried it out and can't get the QA system to come up after the restore of the PROD bak files. When I try to log into the QA workspace after the restore, it errors saying I need proper username/id....even when I use the local shared services admin account....like there is a disconnect between workspace and shared services.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.....thanks!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
The most recent version of iTunes is 9.0.2
Try updating your iTunes software and *then try to Restore the iPhone.*
On your Mac, click the Apple Menu  / Software Updates.
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac*.
Make sure your Windows based machine has the latest version of iTunes also. 9.0.2
Launch iTunes on the PC. If it's not up to date you should see a dialog box asking if you want to updage your iTunes software.

Planning Disaster Recovery Site for SAP ERP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am planning for DR ( Disaster Recovery ) Site. Our current environment is
Production Site
OS        : AIX 5.3
DB        : IBM DB2      version 8.2
SAP      : SAP ERP 6.0 ECC 6
Disaster Recovery Site
OS        : AIX 6.1
DB        : IBM DB2      version 9.5
SAP      : SAP ERP 6.0 ECC 6
I have following confusion in planning the solution.
1 - If I export the data at db level from production site and import that data in DR Site ... than DR Site will be equivalent to Production Site or not.
2 - if answer of point 1 is yes then for SAP DR ... HADR is the best solution or there is any other better solution exist.
regards
Syed Saifuddin

Hello Syed,
If you export from the prod db and import into the disastor recover db then they will be the same provided that SAP environment is all the same. I would recommend that you update the prod side to the same db2 release and fixpack level as soon as possible though as 9.5 (or even better 9.7) has some advanced features that make administration alot easier and save much space.
HADR would be the best setup for disaster recovery in db6 environment.
Check the following documentation which should answer most of your queries.
SAP Note 960843 # DB6:Installation SA MP

and Windows"

Best Way to setup a disaster Recovery site for a logical standby database

I have a logical standby DB (L1DB) as a reporting db on the same machine as the primary (P1DB). We are planning on building a disaster recovery site with similar hardware and potentially have disk mirroring of atleast the redo log files.
The DR site can hold an additional physical standby (S1DB) for the primary (P1DB). I am trying to understand what would be the best way to setup the Disaster Recovery site for the L1DB logical stdby. Ideally, when the disaster happens, and I no longer have P1DB and L1DB, I should be able to switch to S1DB as the new primary. But how do I setup to have a L2DB that takes the place of L1DB and has its contents and can be setup as a logical standby of S1DB?

If you already setup one logical standby, then you know how it works, so not sure what question you are asking ?
Personally I would setup L2DB as a standby of the original primary P1DB. Having downstream standby databases complicates things, and adds additional lag between primary transaction time and L2DB apply.

Disaster Recovery Plan for SAP BW

Dear All,
We are planning for robust Disaster Recovery Site for BW . We have similar R3 & BIW servers at DR site at different location and data is being copied every 3 Hrs.
R3 & BIW at DR site is exact replica of primary site. When primary site is down DR site will act as a primary. In that case we might face data loading issue from DR R3 to DR BW because of source system change. If we change the source system then we loose data consistency and might need initialisation. We are looking for the solution which will involve less efforts to up the system.
Does anyone has done this or overcome this situation ?
Regards,
Manish

Hi Raman,
We are doing disaster recovery test for both ECC and BW systems so whole PR system switched to DR system for some time and then back to PR system. so in that case what precautions we need to take from BW side?
Thanks

Hi,
The disaster recovery strategy should include a backup and restore plan that determines which data should be backed up and the procedures that will be used to recover it.

Disaster Recovery scenario for MSCS Production system.

Hi
Our production system is on win2008/sql2008 MSCS. We decided to install a disaster recovery system. We will use a database replication software. If we have a standalone production system, not a MSCS system, i know that i can install Disaster Recory system with same SID and hostname and i don't need any homogeneous system copy procedure to switch to DR system. But in our scenario, we have many hostname (sap cluster group, sql cluster group, hostnames of nodes... etc.).
How can i install my DR system (which hostname.. etc.) to make our DR scenario easy?
Best Regards...

You May have trouble with RFC connections:
So, one possible solution is, your new server name(Host name) should be your message server name to minimise the trouble and you have to maintain this for all RFC connections (to Prod ECC system) to virtual host which could be message server.
If I could think if any other possible issues, I will update.

Disaster Recovery site for Exchange 2013

Hi, I have to build DR site with Exchange 2013 environment and unable to see document for Exchange 2013 perspective.
In new environment will contain 10 CAS/MBS co-located servers in primary datacenter with two mailbox copies and disaster recovery site with 5 Exchange 2013 CAS/MBS co-located servers with one database copy in blocked activation mode. Any document related
to this screnario would be helpful. The required solution is when all the servers in PDC goes down then DR site would be activated at DMZ level and Server level. Can I use same IP subnet/Site for the DR site?

Hi,
Yes, you can use the same subnet for DR site. If you use the same subnet, you need to use stretched VLAN.
Here is a related thread for your reference. (This case is for Exchange 2010, but it also applies to Exchange 2013 DAG deployment)

Disaster Recovery Solutions for KVM Hypervisors

Thanks to all the help and ideas in my Server Specs for Virtual Environment thread, I think a hyper-converged solution is going to be the right fit for my small business environment. I’m looking at hyper-converged systems because it reduces the overall management of the virtual world. This is important for me as well since I am the “all-one-IT-guy” running everything from programming, help desk support, and sys admin roles here at the office.

Hi,
i did not mean the solution for having DR, but the DOCUMENT we may follow in case of disaster.
i will draw one sample example document table for your review. I want similar document specific to Oracle ebs.

I want to setup a Disaster Recovery Server for Sharepoint Server 2010

There are four production server running sharepoint server 2010 and one SQL server for
ContentDB management.

DR depends upon your backup stratgies, i.e
1) if you taking full backup of sharepoint using SharePoint tool
2) If you taking just SQL backup( Content DB and Services DB).
3) using the 3rd party tool for backup and recovery.
apart from above, you also have make a decision what point of time you want recovery.
from your questions, what i think for you.
Setup new farm with same SharePoint level.same customization, same services configuration, and same number of web apps.
then backup from Prod server( SQL content DBs) and then restore into new farm and mount them.
this is one time thing, Now you have to make decision, how data move from Prod to QA( i mean frequency i.e daily, monthly etc).
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Disaster Recovery Server for EP 6.0

Hello All,
We are running EP 6.0 with Windows 2003 / MSSQL 2005 platform. We would like to have a DR server for the same. Can we prefer the log shipping method to set up DR server?
For ECC we use the log shipping method in our DR server, but I am not sure if this works for Portal. Please clarify

Disaster Recovery setup for SAP Portal

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.

Hi,
Regarding the system copy, last time I did one myself (its a while ago so I'm not sure if it is still a limitation) it was not possible to have the Target SID the same as the Destination SID.
If this is not a limitiation anymore then yes you can use the system copy procedure as it also takes the SDM with it.
Cheers,
Benjamin
