Reinstall View Connection Server with a Backup Configuration
In certain situations, you might have to reinstall the current version of a View Connection Server instance
and restore the existing View conguration by importing a backup LDIF le that contains the View LDAP
conguration data.
For example, as part of a business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) plan, you might want to have a
procedure ready to implement in case a datacenter stops functioning. The rst step in such a plan is to
ensure that the View LDAP conguration is backed up in another location. A second step is to install View
Connection Server in the new location and import the backup conguration, as described in this procedure.
You might also use this procedure when you set up a second datacenter with the existing View
conguration. Or you might use it if your View deployment contains only a single View Connection Server
instance, and a problem occurs with that server.
You do not have to follow this procedure if you have multiple View Connection Server instances in a
replicated group, and a single instance goes down. You can simply reinstall View Connection Server as a
replicated instance. During the installation, you provide connection information to another View
Connection Server instance, and View restores the View LDAP conguration from the other instance.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the View LDAP conguration was backed up to an encrypted LDIF le.
n
Familiarize yourself with restoring a View LDAP conguration from an LDIF backup le by using the
vdmimport command.
See "Backing Up and Restoring View Conguration Data" in the ViewAdministration document.
n
Familiarize yourself with the steps for installing a new View Connection Server instance. See “Install
View Connection Server with a New Conguration,” on page 51.
Procedure
1 Install View Connection Server with a new conguration.
2 Decrypt the encrypted LDIF le.
For example:
vdmimport -d -p mypassword
-f MyEncryptedexport.LDF > MyDecryptedexport.LDF
3 Import the decrypted LDIF le to restore the View LDAP conguration.
For example:
vdmimport -f MyDecryptedexport.LDF
N At this stage, the View conguration is not yet accessible. Clients cannot access View Connection
Server or connect to their desktops.
