Hi All,

We are facing one problem for DR activity .

We are having one Resource Zone say Zone1 which as 2 RBS. During DR activity both RBs are set to be shutdown for few hours . We have another Resource Zone Say Zone 2 which has 2 RBS. My question is , is it possible that when RBs of ZOne 1 are unhealthy , Server access should be attempted from RB2 in Zone2? We have already verified and managed system’s port are open from RBs in Zone 2. 

I know one approach would be rescan the asset and select RB from Zone 2 but it will take lot of manual effort hence want to keep this option as fall back. 

If anyone is aware of any other approach , please let me know .

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Imran

    Hello ​@immi563 

    Currently one zone cannot failover to another zone. 

    I potential way to failover would be to switch the workgroups from Zone1 to Zone2.

    Since its the WorkGroup that ties an asset or domain to the brokers in a zone edit your Zone1 and de-select the workgroups and add them to Zone2.

    You would need to do this in the PasswordSafe WebUI.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi ​@immi563 Yes, you can do this through the GUI - Resource broker | PS Cloud but also can achieve it via API. I would recommend testing it with a test Zone/Workgroup to be safe. 

    Here’s the API that can be leveraged as well : BeyondInsight APIs
