Initial Requirements

The following initial requirements need to be adhered to before implementing the Disaster Recovery procedure:

■

Both machines should have identical hardware (CPU, Memory, Disk, IO).

■

An identical Linux OS (the same DVD), database, and the OVOC software version should be used.

■

Identical database passwords need to be configured on both servers.

■

Identical OVOC Server Manager settings must be configured on both servers (e.g., HTTP/HTTPS communication, etc.).

■

If non-default certificates are used, they must be pre-installed on both servers.

■

Both machines should have a valid license per each Machine ID with identical capabilities.

■

When upgrading the OVOC server software, both machines should be upgraded. Make sure that redundant machine is not rebooted after the upgrade process and the OVOC application remains closed.

■

Make sure that active server backups are not stored on the server machine.
