Timetables - Running Only On The Primary Server - Lucent Technologies CentreVu Release 3 Version 8 High Availability User Manual

User Scenarios
Timetables –
Running only on
the Primary
server
In most cases, you will want to run a timetable from only the Primary
CMS server. To do so, perform the following procedures:
1. Create a timetable on the Primary CMS server.
2. Enter the timetable screen on the Primary CMS server. At the
3
bottom of the timetable screen you will see the following:
This timetable will run on this or another CMS server
< > Run only on this CMS server
<X> Run on this or another CMS server
The default is for the timetable to run on the Primary or another CMS
server. However, if you back up the timetable and restore it to the
Secondary CMS server with the default setting, the system will run
the identical timetable on the Secondary CMS server as well,
causing duplication.
3. Change the setting to Run only on this CMS server. The
select option will appear as:
This timetable will run on this or another CMS server
<X> Run only on this CMS server
< > Run on this or another CMS server
4. Back up the data on the Primary CMS server by selecting the CMS
system administration data option in the
Maintenance:Backup data window.
5. On the secondary server, change CMS to single-user mode.
6. Restore the data onto the Secondary CMS server using
Maintenance Restore.
7. Change CMS back to multi-user mode on the secondary server.
8. On the Secondary CMS server, display the timetable you created.
9. At the bottom of the timetable screen you will see the following:
This timetable will not run on this CMS server
< > Run only on this CMS server
< > Run on this or another CMS server
Accept the default setting. As a result, a copy of the timetable exists
on the Secondary CMS server but the timetable will run only from
the Primary CMS server.
If you wish to run the timetable from the Secondary CMS server, you
may check either box.
Then press Enter to access the action list in the upper right corner of
the window, select the Modify option and press Enter once again.
The timetable now runs on both the Primary and Secondary CMS
servers.
