Layer 7 Gateway (DR)

CA Directory and the Oracle Database are already replicated between the primary and DR sites. Layer 7 provides a script called ssg_export_full.sh to migrate the MySQL database between the primary site and the DR site.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the base Layer 7 Gateway using the same CA CloudMinder Installation Guide procedure that you performed at the primary site with the following changes:
   • Exclude the Create OTK/OIDC Database step up
   • Stop at the step preceding the step to install license and policies.
2. On the primary system, export the configured OAuth, SiteMinder, and OpenID Connect services and Policies using the following procedure.
3. SSH to Primary Gateway server 1.
4. Make sure ssg_export_full.sh under the /opt/SecureSpan/DR folder is executable. Use this command:

   chmod 755 ./ssg_export_full.sh
   

5. Make sure that you have a my.cnf file in the /etc/ directory.

   Add your mysql root password at the end of the file. The format is:

   [client] 
   # The following password will be sent to all standard MySQL clients
   password=my_password
   

6. At the primary site on Layer 7 server 1, execute the following command:

   ./ssg_export__full.sh
   

7. Use sftp to copy the output file (ssg_export_orig_timestamp.sql) to the DR site Gateway server under the /opt/SecureSpan/DR directory.
8. Stop the DR site Gateway process using this command: service ssg stop
9. At the DR site Gateway, enter the following command:

   mysql -u root -h hostname ssg < ssg_export_orig_timestamp.sql
   

   For hostname, enter the hostname you used when you installed MySQL. 

10. Start the DR site Gateway process by entering the following command:

    service ssg start
    

11. Shut down the Gateway. Issue this command:

    service ssg stop
