To make disaster recovery most effective, set scrconfig to collect data weekly or more often, as described in step 3 above. 1. After restoring your system, ensure that DMI is installed and all nodes are configured for access by the CMS. 2. Collect data from the restored system: # scrupdate -n node1 3. Make sure the data collection was successful: # scrstatus 4. Compare that data with the data that existed before the disaster recovery: # scrdiff node1:time node1:lastest 5.

Additional Uses of SCR
Disaster Recovery
SCR can also help with disaster recovery by showing you a comparison
of the system state before and after recovery. To make disaster recovery
most effective, set
scrconfig
to collect data weekly or more often, as
described in step 3 above.
1.
After restoring your system, ensure that DMI is installed and all
nodes are configured for access by the CMS.
2.
Collect data from the restored system:
#
scrupdate -n
node1
3.
Make sure the data collection was successful:
#
scrstatus
4.
Compare that data with the data that existed before the disaster
recovery:
#
scrdiff
node1
:
time node1
:lastest
5.
Make changes to the system to complete the restoration, if
necessary.
This disaster recovery process can be used for more routine situations,
such as preparing for a reboot or an operating system upgrade.
As you see, SCR is a powerful and flexible tool for system
administration and management. You may devise uses for it that we
have not thought of!
