ECC Server disaster recovery

I'm not sure whether or not there's a written procedure on this, but we have the same running for over 2 years, so I must say it's working ! We have 3 hosts on each side and the remote ones currently boot from local disks and are running various ECC agents, since there's no SAN connectivity between the 2 sites (just SRDF).

Req's:
- Boot from SAN (configure LUN in both HBA's)
- SRDF
- Hosts on the other side need to have boot from SAN set up as well
- You can't run the remote hosts at the same time as your primary one, unless they are booting from other disks or LUN's.

thanks for the reply,

so, when we boot the remote host from SAN, does it get the DNS of the R1 host or do we have to do anything with the .ini file

Trying going to:
support -> software downloads -> downloads C -> controlcenter

Patch 3928 for ECC 6.0

Patch 3322 for ECC 5.2

If you still can't get to it, then call the EMC support centre and request the relevant patch.

The patch contains instructions for ECC DR

thanks for your effort jason

But, as a patner i dont have access to the link.

can u briefly describe the solution u want to share in the forum

thanks in advance

We have ECC set up using FQDNS names. The only thing we need to change is the ip addresses when each host is running on the other side, but I guess you could do that with DHCP in combination with a smart DNS.

That's typical... I'm a partner too and I can see both pdf's !

thanks Rob,

so, only i cant see the pdf's........

can i open a service ticket for this or email someone?????
