Follow these steps to create and configure a remote stand-alone
secondary (RSS) server that synchronizes with a primary server.
Procedure
- Ensure that the primary server and the RSS server can connect
to each other.
These two servers must be configured
to use a DNS server.
- Set up the trusted environment by creating the hosts.equiv file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.equiv
For
detailed steps, see Setting Up the Trusted Environment and The hosts.equiv file on the IBM® Informix® 11.50
information center.
- On the primary server host, create a folder on the file
system, and then share it.
For example, if the primary
server host name is prod, create a folder C:\export_dir,
and then share the folder.
Ensure that the UNC Path is:
\\prod\export_dir
- Use the ccmsrv rss_export command to
export the data on the primary server so that you can create the RSS
server.
For example, in CM Command Prompt,
run the following command to export the database on the primary server:
$
ccmsrv rss_export /t \\prod\export_dir /r prod2
In
this example, prod is the short name of the primary
server host, and prod2 is the short name of the RSS
server host.
- On the RSS server host, run the ccmsrv rss_create command
to create the RSS server.
For example, in CM
Command Prompt, run the following command to export the
database on the primary server:
$ ccmsrv rss_create
/f \\prod\export_dir /p prod
In this example, prod is
the short name of the primary server host.
