Hi Scott,
We have been running this for several years. We just have 2 NetViews,
1 east coast and 1 west coast, with one being the primary and the other being a
backup. They each have an MLM in front of them and all of the network devices
are pointed at both MLMs for trap targets. The network devices also have both
Netviews on their access lists.
Whenever we have a problem with the primary, or there is maintenance to
be done, the operators are all told to shift their monitoring to the backup
server. Used to be hectic when we were still on X sessions. With the
web-client it is hardly noticable.
The database is copied from the primary to the backup once a day, so
the most data you would lose would be 24 hours. Just need to do a reset_ci
after restoring the database onto the backup so that it knows it's real id.
You mentioned Geo load balancing....this does not do that, both
NetViews monitor the entire network, so it is purely disaster recovery.

Subject: [nv-l] DR For NetView ?
Hi;
We are in the planning stages of launching a
second datacenter site for geo load balancing and
disaster recovery. When looking at the NetView docs
it seems like I can use an MLM like a Tivoli gateway
in production mode but I'm not sure how one would do a
backup NetView Server. Does anyone have any pointers ?
Is there a deployment guide for NetView that would cover this?
I have been searching the IBM website with no luck
and I don's see the docs on CD.
Thanks!
Scot
