Backup Regions Tab - Region Form

Reference Topic:

Backup Region Assignment Dialog Box


Global Editions systems can be configured for database redundancy, at the Regional level. A Regional
Database Server can assign another for backup in the event of a failure at the default Regional Database
Server.
Regional database redundancy and fileserver redundancy operate independently. One or the other, or
both can fail at the same time, whether they reside on the same server computer or are configured to
reside on separate computers. Secure Perfect initiates three tries to fail over to another fileserver. This
process is taking place in the background. After three tries with no success, an SPFileServer interface
attempts to locate an available fileserver. If all attempts fail, the interface generates an alarm.

If you select a failover Regional Server and want your clients to failover to the backup Server, you

must also select the Client Region Failover checkbox on the

Client form, Client tab

.


Element Description
