Note: Licensing for one disaster recovery node (DR) is part of the IT Advisor base license.
In this example of configuring IT Advisor disaster recovery, two stand alone servers have been created, Server1 and Server2. Server2 will be configured as the disaster recovery node to Server1.
IMPORTANT: If the Disaster Recovery node is monitored by Data Center Expert via SNMP, it is important to set the device scan timeout in DCE high enough for the Disaster Recovery node to respond. Otherwise, it will return a communication lost status. How you set the device scan timeout depends on the network speed between the Disaster Recovery node and the ITA server.
Configure Server 1
-
Log in to the Server1 Webmin interface, and select EcoStruxure IT Advisor > Disaster Recovery.
-
Select Allow another node to connect to this node.
-
In Allow the following IP as disaster recovery node, enter the IP address for Server2.
-
Click Attach.
