CA Identity Manager Implementation Guide - CA Technologies

Develop Backup PlansMulti-Site Connector ServersFor either the Java or C++ Connector Server, you can configure multipleconnector servers to serve the same endpoint or endpoint type.For each connector server you configure, you should configure an alternateconnector server at a remote location to handle the same endpoints. If theconnector server fails, the alternate server immediately manages thecommunication with the endpoints.Redundant DatabasesThe supported database software, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle, provide thecapability to provide redundant databases. If the main database fails, theredundant database is immediately available. The redundant database should beat a remote site in case the entire site is affected.Develop Backup PlansTo protect against the loss of any or all systems, use off-site storage for all datathat you back up and a backup schedule that meets your maximum downtimerequirements. The backup and restore procedures use different applications, sothey should be coordinated for recovery of the CA Identity Manager system as awhole.Include the following components in your backup plans:Component Description Backup MethodThe Identity ManagerUser StoreThe Identity ManagerUser StoreThe Identity ManagerUser StoreThe Identity ManagerDatabasesAn LDAP user directory ora relational database thatcontains the records forIdentity Manager usersAn LDAP user directory ora relational database thatcontains the records forIdentity Manager usersAn LDAP user directory ora relational database thatcontains the records forIdentity Manager usersThe databases for TaskPersistence, Workflow,Auditing, Object Store,See the documentationsupplied with yourdatabase or LDAPsoftware.See the documentationsupplied with yourdatabase or LDAPsoftware.See the documentationsupplied with yourdatabase or LDAPsoftware.See the documentationsupplied with yourdatabase software.Chapter 7: Creating a Disaster Recovery Plan 101
