Cloning a Production server to make DR, is it a good idea?

0 Kudos

We have newly installed a PI 7.4 server, and are also planning to make ready the DR server.

We are on vmware virtual platform and want to take advantage of cloning the entire machine, change its ip and make it a DR server.

my concerns are as below:

1. is it necessary to change the host name, SID, hardware key?

2. how can such a system be maintained in sap market place?

3. what are the known issues?

Regards,

Rohan

Hi Rohan,

As you have VMware you can make use of VMotion utility to move the instances in case of disaster.

Cloning may not me a good option here.

Incase you are not comfortable using vmotion utility, how do you plan to perform log shipping to DR system ?

This is a one of important parameters while designing the DR solution.

hi deepak!

I have learned that cloning is not an option especially for PI.

however, log shipping is not not any of big concern
