Policy Server (DR)

You install the Policy Server at the DR site in the same way you installed it at the primary site with some minor changes.

Prerequisite Steps

  1. Update the host file on the system with the Policy Server to use an alias for the CSP DSA hostname.

    Map an alias, cspdiralias, to the IP Address of the CA Directory with the CSP DSA at the DR site.

  2. Edit the properties file to set the database properties to match the Primary database properties. Match the entries for server hostname, usernames, passwords, tablespaces names and tablespace filenames and pathnames.
  3. Configure VIPs for this server at the DR site based on whether or not load balancing is used. The table uses the following codes:

Property

Primary Site Value

DR Site Value (load balancing)

DR Site Value (no load balancing)

_aa_tws_base_url

http://<SMPS-LB-VIP>:9090/tenant-services/cm/tenantws

same as primary

Same as Primary with <IP of DR SMPS> mapped to <SMPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts

_aa_im_base_url

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

_aa_tomcat_host_address

<SMPS-LB-VIP>

same as primary

Same as Primary with <IP of DR SMPS> mapped to <SMPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts

_shim_aaui_host_port

<SPS-LB-VIP>

same as primary

_shim_sm_webagent_host_port

<SPS-LB-VIP>

same as primary

Same as Primary with <IP of DR SPS> mapped to <SPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts

_tws_im_ws_host

<IM-LB-VIP>

same as primary

Same as Primary with <IP of DR SPS> mapped to <SPS-LB-VIP> in /etc/hosts

Perform the Installation

Install the Policy Server using the same CA CloudMinder Installation Guide procedure that you performed at the primary site. Repeat this procedure on each system that should become a Policy Server.
