Disaster Recovery
A disaster recovery deployment makes it easier to restore the Enterprise Management Server in the event of a catastrophic system failure. If the CA ControlMinder and SAM endpoints cannot connect to the production environment, they connect to the disaster recovery environment until the production environment is restored.
A disaster recovery deployment has the following benefits:
- The database of the disaster recovery DMS is a duplicate of the production DMS database. This means that you have a copy of your policies if the production DMS database becomes corrupt.
- An endpoint can connect to the production or disaster recovery environment. If the production environment goes down, an endpoint sends data to the disaster recovery environment, so information about policy status and deviations is not lost in the event of a catastrophic system failure.
- You do not have to re-subscribe each endpoint after you have recovered from a disaster.
The following CA ControlMinder components are not backed up or restored during the disaster recovery process. Back up these components separately:
- Password policy models
- PMDBs
- RDBMSs
- CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management
- CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management
- data on the endpoints
- CA ControlMinder audit files
- The CA ControlMinder endpoints
- Reports
- Message Queue
- CA Business Intelligence
Note: The DMS audit file is saved when the DMS is backed up.
