It is possible to replace the manager system hardware in case of a system failure or hardware upgrade in that way that the original MDB and configuration settings can be used furthermore.
There is no need to reinstall the MDB or reconfigure the software delivery library or remote control address books because the original configuration can be used.
To prepare for cases where the manager system needs to be replaced, you must do some settings in the installation wizard. In the Configure Manager dialog a button called 'Recovery' leads into the failover dialog. In the failover dialog, you must select the 'System Replacement' and 'Enable Replacement' options. In the dialog for the install directories, set the directories for manager data (MDB and configuration data) to a path which needs to be backed up regularly. During installation all input given through the various dialogs is stored in a file called DSMRecovery.ini and is saved at the specified configuration data location. With this file, it is possible to replace the hardware in case of a crash.
If the hardware has been replaced and the manager needs to be reinstalled, run the 'Recovery' dialog again, select 'Enable Replacement', and the option 'Replacing system'.
At the bottom, the installation path for the configuration data must be entered so that the installer can find the originally stored DSMRecovery.ini. The installer reads all installation parameters and uses the same MDB, software library, and so on, as in the original manager installation.
The relative path to the configuration data must be the same as it was for the active manager.
Replacing the manager system requires that the old manager hardware and the new manager hardware are using the same system name.
Note: In case of computer hardware failure consistency of data cannot be ensured.
