<h1 class="topictitle1">Backup and recovery of clusters</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>If you use clustering on your systems, it is still important
|
||
|
|
that you create a backup and recovery strategy to protect your data.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>If you are planning on using clustering as your backup strategy
|
||
|
|
so that you have one system up and running while the other system is down
|
||
|
|
when its being backed up, it is recommended that you have a minimum of three
|
||
|
|
systems in the cluster. By having three systems in the cluster, you will always
|
||
|
|
have one system to switch over to should a failure occur.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Saving
|
||
|
|
and restoring cluster resource groups</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can save a cluster resource
|
||
|
|
group whether the cluster is active or inactive. The following restrictions
|
||
|
|
apply for restoring a cluster resource group:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>If the cluster is up and the cluster resource group is known to that cluster,
|
||
|
|
you cannot restore the cluster resource group.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the node is not configured for a cluster, you cannot restore a cluster
|
||
|
|
resource group.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can restore a cluster resource group if the cluster is active,
|
||
|
|
the cluster resource group is not known to that cluster, the node is in the
|
||
|
|
recovery domain of that cluster resource group, and the cluster name matches
|
||
|
|
that in the cluster resource group. You can restore a cluster resource group
|
||
|
|
if the cluster is configured but is not active on that node and if that node
|
||
|
|
is in the recovery domain of that cluster resource group.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Preparing
|
||
|
|
for a disaster</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the case of a disaster, you will need to reconfigure
|
||
|
|
your cluster. In order to prepare for such a scenario, it is recommended that
|
||
|
|
you save your cluster configuration information and keep a hardcopy printout
|
||
|
|
of that information.</p>

|

making cluster configuration changes so that the restored internal cluster

information is current and consistent with other nodes in the cluster. See

Saving configuration information for details on performing a SAVCFG or SAVSYS.</span></li>
