Hi Vel, If you are going for a DR test , you have to have a solid documented procudure, can be of numerous page long., depending on your enviroment. You can do a virual DR test also, depending upon your network & server infrastructure. If you are planning from Site A ( Pri) to Site B (DR) , recovery test, make sure few things are replicating every moment. If you dont have a direct replication service like storage replication, you need to depend on Tape(s)/DAT/DDS etc to be able to transfer primary data to DR site and do the test. If you have continous access XP, replication you can do it well and fast and with ease. Such cases your DR environment should have similar type of cluster environment as the Primary site has. With similar package configuration under MC/Service Guard environment. 1. Split Continous access replication. 2. make VG's cluster unaware , make cluster aware in DR site host. 3. veryfy the IP's of the packages, (You can have different set of IP's than PROD Ips. 4. bring up the packages. 5. Have DB/Apps team check. 6. Carry on Test. 7. Done. 8. Bring down applications, bring down packages. 9. Check control file log. /etc/cmcluster/pkg/pkg.cntl.log 10. Resync the storage replication. make sure all came to PAIR state. 11.Done. If you describe more about the type of environement you have, with OS/Cluster/Storage/Backup/Repliation etc, it may be easire to explain more. Cheers,
