Failover/failback scripts

Scripts are executed at different points during the failover/failback process to perform the
actions necessary to make BlackBerry available on the appropriate server.

Editing scripts is an advanced feature. Do not edit scripts unless you fully understand
what each command is doing.

Scripts are automatically generated by Application Manager during configuration. The
scripts are copied to the Storage Mirroring Recover installation directory on the specified
server using the administrative share for that server’s drive.

Description

Failover

post_failover_<source>_
<target>_bb.bat for
distributed environments,
or post_failover_<source>
_<target>_sql_bb.bat for
consolidated
environments

A post-failover script is executed after the core
failover processes have completed on the
target server. The primary functions of the post-
failover script are to start the services on the
target and to modify DNS and Active Directory
entries as necessary.

Failback

pre_failback_<source>_
<target>_bb.bat for
distributed environments,
or pre_failback_<source>
_<target>_sql_bb.bat for
consolidated
environments

A pre-failback script is executed before failback
processing occurs on the target server. The
primary functions of this script are to stop
services on the target and to move DNS and
Active Directory entries as necessary.

Restore

post_restore_<source>_
<target>_bb.bat for
distributed environments,
or post_restore_<source
server>_<target server>_
sql_bb.bat for
consolidated
environments

A post-restore script is not executed
automatically, though it is provided on the
source to perform actions that are generally
required after data has been restored from the
target to source after a failover/failback. The
primary function of this script is to restart
services on the source server.

By default, Application Manager generates all the required scripts for you automatically
based on your system configuration. You can also edit the scripts to add, modify, or
delete specific commands. To edit a script:
