Disaster Recovery by taking an image of the server
Posted: Wed Nov 14, 2012 10:29 am
Hi
We have a datastage 8.1 installation on an AIX 6.1 machine which is actually a LPAR on an IBM P570 server.
We are thinking of taking an image of our server which can be dropped on another server for the purpose of disaster recovery.
Our fall back plan is to take weekly backups of the production project and when disaster hits, build a new machine, reinstall datastage on it and then import the project backups.
Any thoughts, gotchas on the subject ?
