DR for Control Center

Hello,

I am new to Control Center.  We are running 6.1.  We have production ECC servers in California and will have ECC DR servers in Texas.

The ECC repository and Storage Scope repository sit on server wfcp3718i in CA.  Many of the agents (SDM, Master Agent, Host, Console, Symmetrix, Performance Manager etc) sit on wfcp3720i (CA) and collect the data and send it to the ECC repository on wfcp3718i

To me the whole E: drive on wfcp3718i with all sub-directories are the repository.  This E: drive is made up of one symmetrix 10-way striped meta volume (about 85 GB).  I use SRDF to replicate the meta volume (10 symm devices) to the DR array in Texas.  So I have the entire E: drive with all subdirectories in Texas sitting on the R2 volumes.

I would like to make a clone of wfcp3718i and wfcp3720i in Texas.  The new wfcp3718i in TX would be the DR server for the repository while the new wfcp3720i in TX would be the DR server that is running many of the agents and sending info to wfcp3718i.  I would then like to bring up this new wfcc3718i in Texas and point it to the R2 volumes. I would also bring up the new wfcp3720i in TX.

Does this make sense?  It seems like some collection data would be lost in the period where the CA servers were coming down and before the TX servers were up and collecting data.  This might be ok as I may be able to tolerate the loss of data for the DR test.

Any information or ideas you can give me on DR for ECC would be extremely helpful.  I’m sure many other customers have created DR environments for their ECC servers.
