This section shows examples of the RCM configuration file for each failover mode you can choose: switch active, quiesce, and none.
This section shows an example of an RCM configuration file for switch active mode:
# Open Switch Server OPENSWITCH = ws_os COORD_USER = os_coord COORD_PASSWORD = os_coord_pwd # Replication Server REP_SERVER = ws_rs RS_USER = sa #RS_PASSWORD - Replication Server password is blank # Active and Standby ASE Servers ACTIVE_ASE = BookServer ACTIVE_USER = sa #ACTIVE_PASSWORD - ACTIVE ASE password is blank STANDBY_ASE = StandbyBook STANDBY_USER = stndby_sa STANDBY_PASSWORD = booknut # On failover switch the flow of replication RS_FAILOVER_MODE = SWITCH # Identify the databases in the warm-standby environment LOGICAL_CONN = LDS.LDB ACTIVE_DBS = pubs3 STANDBY_DBS = pubs3 REQUIRED_DBS = pubs3 APP_POOL= Application # Wait 5 minutes before starting the failover FAILOVER_WAIT = 300 # Provide Replication Server 2 minutes perform the switch active MONITOR_WAIT = 120
If you use this example configuration file in your environment and the active Adaptive Server fails, the RCM switches the logical connection named “LDS.LDB” in the Replication Server. Then the RCM starts the Replication Agent thread in the standby Adaptive Server for the database “pubs3.”
This section shows an example of an RCM configuration file for quiesce mode.
The section highlighted in bold is the only difference between this example and the previous example configuration file for switch active mode. See “switch active” for comparison.
# Open Switch Server OPENSWITCH = ws_os COORD_USER = os_coord COORD_PASSWORD = os_coord_pwd # Replication Server REP_SERVER = ws_rs RS_USER = sa #RS_PASSWORD - Replication Server password is blank # Active and Standby ASE Servers ACTIVE_ASE = BookServer ACTIVE_USER = sa #ACTIVE_PASSWORD - ACTIVE ASE password is blank STANDBY_ASE = StandbyBook STANDBY_USER = stndby_sa STANDBY_PASSWORD = booknut # On failover quiesce the Replication Server # No database information is needed RS_FAILOVER_MODE = QUIESCE # Test to make sure that the pubs3 database is available REQUIRED_DBS = pubs3 APP_POOL= Application # Wait 5 minutes before starting the failover FAILOVER_WAIT = 300 # Provide Replication Server 2 minutes perform the switch active MONITOR_WAIT = 120
If you use this example configuration file in your environment and if the active Adaptive Server fails, the RCM issues the quiesce command to Replication Server. All connections in Replication Server are then quiesced.
This section shows an example of an RCM configuration file for none mode.
The section highlighted in bold is the only difference between this example and the previous example for SWITCH ACTIVE mode. See “switch active” for comparison.
# Open Switch Server OPENSWITCH = ws_os COORD_USER = os_coord COORD_PASSWORD = os_coord_pwd # No Replication Server information is needed # Active and Standby ASE Servers ACTIVE_ASE = BookServer ACTIVE_USER = sa #ACTIVE_PASSWORD - ACTIVE ASE password is blank STANDBY_ASE = StandbyBook STANDBY_USER = stndby_sa STANDBY_PASSWORD = booknut # Manual Replication Server failover # No database information is needed RS_FAILOVER_MODE = NONE # Don't switch the users to the standby ASE SWITCH_USERS = 0 APP_POOL = Application # Wait 5 minutes before starting the failover FAILOVER_WAIT = 300 # Provide Replication Server 2 minutes perform the switch active MONITOR_WAIT = 120
If you use this example configuration file in your environment and the active Adaptive Server fails, the RCM takes no action for Replication Server.
