Recovering IMS
Following are the conditions in which Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) may go offline, along with its impact, and steps to recover from such scenario. The table also describes the mitigation steps for each of the condition mentioned.
Table: Recovering IMS
Scenario | Impact | Steps to recover | Mitigation steps |
|---|---|---|---|
IMS at source data center goes offline | Cannot perform any operation that impacts the source data center configuration. You cannot perform migrate, but can perform rehearsal, rehearsal cleanup, and recover operations. |
| Ensure appropriate redundancy measures for IMS at hypervisor and storage level |
IMS at target data center goes offline | Cannot perform any operation that impacts the target data center configuration. You cannot perform migrate, rehearsal, rehearsal cleanup, and recover operations. |
| Ensure appropriate redundancy measures for IMS at hypervisor and storage level |
