Parallel server system: Restore data (the entire system fails)

Example scenario: There is a complete data destruction of both server systems in parallel server operation. Parallel server operation should be re-established with minimal data loss. Ideally, there will be no data loss.

Requirements

• Both servers A and B were rebuilt after the failure to the extent that the octoplant server can be installed. The existing octoplant system has been uninstalled on both servers and is no longer available.
• The user, who restores the backup, must have administrator rights on the server system.

Restoring data

1. Restore the backed-up data to thevdServerArchivedirectories of the two servers. If there is a remote archive, copy them to thevdServerArchivedirectory of the remote share.
2. Server: Install the octoplant Server applications using theSetup.exefile from the octoplant Setup directory. During installation, select the Server with existing server archive option to include the backed-up server archive.
3. Server B: Install the octoplant Server applications using theSetup.exefile from the octoplant Setup directory. During installation, select the Server with existing server archive option to include the backed-up server archive.
