HDR initial setup question
Posted in 2003
Hi,
I've been trying to get a pair of servers to work in HDR (High Availability
Data Replication) mode - but am having some problems getting them to be
identical in the first place. I have followed the documentation in the Admin
guide to configure the two servers to be identical in the areas that matter
(I wasn't sure whether the name had to be the same or not... does it?)
The documentation states that I "simply" onbar -b -L 0 on the primary then
onbar -r -p on the secondary.
Neither server has a tape so I have to use the hard disk, and I assume ftp the
files to the secondary.
I have followed a couple of howto's but am unable to work out how to restore
the secondary. The closest I get gives me the following error after copying
across the files created by onbar, the ixbar file and the /nsr/mm and
/nsr/index folders:

I'm hoping someone can point me to a good way to do this. I had a thought that
maybe I could get the secondary server to connect to the ISM on the primary
server (seeing "bkup_host" in the bar_act log) - but found no way to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Josh.
