Guidelines on backing up and restoring an Active/Passive deployment

Note: For detailed instructions on how to back up and restore Automation Suite, see Backing up and restoring the cluster.

Backing up the cluster

  • You must back up only the primary cluster and external storage (SQL and Objectstore).

  • It is not mandatory to take a backup of the secondary cluster. Instead, you can choose to take a backup of the secondary. However, you can still use the primary cluster to set up the secondary cluster.

Restoring the primary cluster

  • If the primary cluster goes down, you must use the backup to restore it.

  • If configuration changes were made on the secondary cluster while the primary cluster was down, follow these steps to ensure the restored primary reflects the latest configuration:
    • Merge configurations from the primary and secondary clusters to create an updated input.json that includes all changes made on the secondary after the primary went down.
    • Apply any required updates to parameters that are specific to the primary cluster.
    • Restore the primary cluster using the merged input.json file.

Restoring the secondary cluster

  • If the secondary cluster’s backup is unavailable, you can restore it from the primary cluster by taking the following steps:

    1. Generate the input.json from the primary cluster.

    2. Update the input.json with the specific value of the secondary cluster.

    3. Install the secondary cluster.

  • If the backup for the secondary cluster is available, you can restore the secondary cluster from the backup.
