Database replication enables you to specify a location (preferably on a network storage device or on a network-mounted volume) where the BFC database will be replicated. This replication occurs in real time automatically to help ensure that the replicated database is always current. You only need to specify the location to store the replicated database.
If you need to restore a BFC (due to a hardware failure, disaster, or anything else), you simply run the installation program on the new BFC machine and specify the directory location of the replicated database (this is the first question in the installation program). The new BFC will then be installed with the replicated database. Once the new BFC is installed, it will become aware of the existing grids and be able to control them as before.
Note: The new BFC machine should have the same hostname and IP addresses (backbone and external network) as the original BFC control node. Also, the new machine should have the exact same settings of version download directory as the original BFC control node.
To configure database replication
The Administration page appears.
Path location for the replicated database (preferably on a network or external storage device). Once the location is specified, you will be unable to edit the location. A database replica is not required for BFC operation, but highly recommended. The replica path should be writable by the bfcadmin account. You can run the chown or chmod commands to provide the required access to the replica path. For example:
chown bfcadmin <replica path> chmod 777 <replica path>
