Disaster recovery rehearsal in Continentalclusters

#/usr/sbin/cmdrprev -e “/etc/sales_rac9i_recpkg_2_srdf.env”

2. Move the recovery group sales_rac9i_recgp_1 and sales_rac9i_recgp_2 into maintenance mode.

#cmrecovercl -d -g sales_rac9i_recgp_1

#cmrecovercl -d -g sales_rac9i_recgp_2

Note: Using the cmviewconcl command, verify that the recovery groups sales_rac9i_recgp_1 and

sales_rac9i_recgp_2 are in maintenance mode.

3. Prepare the replication environment for DR rehearsal.

Manually suspend the replication and enable write access to the secondary mirror copy.

#symrdf –g sales_rac9i_dg split

To change the cluster ID on the CVM DG, run the following command on the CVM master

node.

#vxdg –fCs import sales_rac9i_cvmdg

Split the BCV pair, at recovery cluster, which is configured for the package

#symmir –g sales_rac9i_dg split

4. Start rehearsal for both the recovery groups.

$) cmrecovercl -r -g sales_rac9i_recgp_1

$) cmrecovercl -r -g sales_rac9i_recgp_2

Caution: Users are cautioned against putting only the partial set of the recovery groups of Oracle 9i RAC

application into maintenance mode. For more details refer to section “

Rehearsing recovery of Oracle 9i RAC

recovery groups”.

Note: Use the “cmviewcl” command to verify that the rehearsal package sales_rac9i_rhpkg_1 is started on

HOUnode1 and the rehearsal package sales_rac9i_rhpkg_2 is started on HOUnode2.

Note: Before starting rehearsal, reconfigure the listener on nodes HOUnode1 and HOUnode2 to use the package

IP address configured for sales_rac9i_rhpkg_1 and sales_rac9i_rhpkg_2, respectively.

5. Stop both the rehearsal packages.

$) cmhaltpkg sales_rac9i_rhpkg_1

$) cmhaltpkg sales_rac9i_rhpkg_2

6. Restore replication environment for recovery.

First synchronize the secondary mirror copy with the primary mirror copy and then synchronize the

BCV with the secondary mirror copy.

$) symrdf –g sales_rac9i_dg establish

$) symmir –g sales_rac9i_dg establish
