Identity Management Server (DR)

Perform these steps on a system that you choose for the Identity Management server at the DR site.

Prerequisite Steps

Edit the properties file to set the database properties to match the Primary database properties. This includes server hostname, usernames, passwords, tablespaces names, and tablespace file names, and path names.
Add a host entry to map cspdiralias to the DR directory host with the CSP console DSA.
Add a host entry to map csphostalias to CSP console Host IP at the DR site.
Update properties.sh file used for the installation with the following values.
_CSPDirHost=cspdiralias;

_cspHostName=csphostalias;
Configure VIPs for this server at the DR site based on whether or not load balancing is used. The table uses the following codes:
- IM = Identity Management
- SPS = Secure Proxy Server
- SMPS = SiteMinder Policy Server

Property	Primary Site Value	DR Site Value (load balancing)	DR Site Value (no load balancing)
_sm_host	<SMPS-LB-VIP>	same as primary	Same as Primary with <IP of DR SMPS> mapped to <SMPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts
_CSPDirHost	<Primary Dir1> (Change to alias name cspdiralias for next upgrade)	cspdiralias with <IP of DR DIR> mapped to cspdiralias in /etc/hosts	cspdiralias with <IP of DR DIR> mapped to cspdiralias in /etc/hosts
_cspHostName	<Primary CSP> (change to alias name csphostalias for next upgrade)	csphostalias with <IP of DR CSP> mapped to csphostalias in /etc/hosts	csphostalias with <IP of DR CSP> mapped to csphostalias in /etc/hosts
_envBaseURL	http://<SPS-LB-VIP>/iam/im	same as primary	Same as Primary with <IP of DR SPS> mapped to <SPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts
_internalBaseURL	http://<IM-LB-VIP>:8080/iam/im/	same as primary	Same as Primary with <IP of DR IM> mapped to <IM-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts
_authMinderHost	<SMPS-LB-VIP>	same as primary	Same as Primary with <IP of DR SMPS> mapped to <SMPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts

Perform the Installation

Install the Identity Management Server using the same CA CloudMinder Installation Guide procedure that you performed at the primary site; however, apply the following guidelines:

Make the_multicast_address and _multicast_groupname different from the primary site to avoid clustering between the primary and DR sites.
Each Identity Management server in the JBoss cluster has a unique ServerPeerId used by JMS. Use the same server peer IDs on the corresponding servers between sites. The server peer IDs are assigned at installation time and, by default, start at 1. Use of the default settings at both sites is sufficient to achieve the desired correspondence.

Repeat this procedure on each system that should become an Identity Management server.
