reading virtual centera media replicated in another DX Server
Hi all.
This environment is basically:
02 sites, Windows 2003 file servers, Centera media services and DiskXtender 6.5.x.
Details about each site:
SITE A
DX Server A
Extended disk: D
Centera A
SITE B
DX Server B
Extended disk: E
Centera B
- DiskXtender is installed on both sites (both are active sites) and the files from the extended
drives are migrated to the Centera located in each site.
- The sites are not clustered, which means that DX Server A and DX server B are
stand-alone/independent file servers.
- At site A, the extended disk D migrates files to its local Centera A. After that, these data are
replicated to site B (Centera B). The same dataflow happens at site B, having site A as its DR/Backup
site.
- Assuming that site A becomes unavailable, I am able to ¿move¿ the extended drive D
from site A to site B, so at this point the DX Server B will be the owner of both extended disks (Disk D and
its original disk E).
So my question is:
As the Centera B has the replicated data from Centera A, is there a way to configure the DX Server B to
recognize this extended drive D (from site A) as a DX driver, and start fetching data from Centera B as
users access their files? The main point is that the extended drive E (the original extended drive
from site B) has to keep working, so I cannot follow the documented DR solution of exporting DX server
A configuration and importing it into DX server B.
How can I read centera virtual media with data replicated from site A (Centera A) on DiskXternder on site B (Centera B)?
Best regards,
Fernando
