Cisco Prime LMS High Availability

[CSCO10675262_2]

Hi,

I am trying to setup prime LMS 4.2 with a pair of soft appliance. As I understand that HA is possible with the use of veritas/vmware for windows/solaris; I was wondering what are the possible high availability options available with a pair of prime LMS appliances? Can it form active/secondary with data synchronization/data redundancy of the LMS on top of the traditional backup/restore of the lms?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone has any ideas on the capability of HA with the appliances?

if your useing Vmware fail over cluster the hypervisor should fix this for you.

As iceman said, in VMWare it is not needed to have a pair of host machines to configure HA. Pairs are managed using third party HA services like veritas.

In VMWare's HA concept all Host machines are pooled into one cluster and in case of host failure the entire cluster is moved to another host. vMotion can also help to move the entire vm to another host.

This is when the host fails where vm resides. In case of failure of vm itself, the HA can be set for various actions lilke Automatic restart when hardware or OS failure is detected. OR it can restart another backup host in other cluster when failure is detected.

You need to check availble HA option on VMWare and you can consider HA options via third party applications like veritas as well.

Hi,

Appreciate for the information. As per my post previously, the HA option was to explore if there was any HA avaialbe for soft appliances.

It has been resolved as it was checed and there were no HA avaialble for soft appliances (unless it is setup using prime infrastructure instead).

Thanks for the update
