[Casper] Disaster Recovery

[Thomas Larkin]

I have an ODM back up, that is sync'd and is set to a replica.  In the
case of failure I would demote the ODM to a stand alone via server
admin, and promote the replica to the Master server.  It is a server
that just sits there and does nothing besides sync LDAP. 

For my casper servers, I would just load the JSS on one of my xserve
distribution points and then create a policy that edits the
/etc/jamf.conf and points it to the new JSS master while the other one
is being worked on.

I'd say your DR machine ought to serve as a secondary repository that is
regularly synched.  You should be running regular backups of your JSS,
scheduled through JSS Setup Utility and then backed up via whatever
backup system you have in place. 


When disaster strikes, you can run the JSS Setup utility on the DR
machine, and import your last backup.

I'm looking into implementing Disaster Recovery and wanted to see how
users on this list go about doing this for JSS. Currently have two
servers dedicated for JSS use. One is the production server running JSS
and repository for all data/packages. The other is in stand by in case
case primary goes down. What I like to learn is how quickly you can
recover if your primary goes down and how you go about backing up/sync
to your 2ndry server if any.

Thanx in advance
