Guidelines on backing up and restoring an Active/Passive deployment
For detailed instructions on how to back up and restore Automation Suite, see Backing up and restoring the cluster.
-
You must back up only the primary cluster and external storage (SQL and Objectstore).
-
It is not mandatory to take a backup of the secondary cluster. Instead, you can choose to take a backup of the secondary. However, you can still use the primary cluster to set up the secondary cluster.
-
If the primary cluster goes down, you must use the backup to restore it.
-
If you applied a new configuration on the secondary cluster while the primary cluster is down, then at the time of the restore, you can reuse the
input.jsonfile of the secondary cluster and update the critical parameter, which is very specific to the primary cluster, and then you can restore the cluster.
-
If the secondary cluster’s backup is unavailable, you can restore it from the primary cluster by taking the following steps:
-
Generate the
input.jsonfrom the primary cluster. -
Update the
input.jsonwith the specific value of the secondary cluster. -
Install the secondary cluster.
-
-
If the backup for the secondary cluster is available, you can restore the secondary cluster from the backup.
