The HIGH-AVAILABILITY process needs a good understanding of the environment, it implies flawless skill transfer that will be done throughout the implementation period, from the analysis phase, to the final switch tests.
Training is thus spread throughout the period, and concerns the high availability principle itself as much as the Quick-EDD/H product. Participants will take part, depending on level and role, in part or all of the implementation.
STEP 1 - GLOBAL SCHEME (2 to 4 days)
INTRODUCTION: Product philosophy Presentation of services provided for the customer
ANALYSIS: Prior ANALYSIS of the system, the applications, the configuration...
Definition of the perimeter of high availability 2 to 4 days study depending on the site Production of a document describing the solution Approval by all participants
STEP 3 - TESTS - SIMULATION (1 day)
TESTS: Validation of replication process - Data verification - Verification of replication start and stop processes - Verification of restart points
SIMULATION: Simulation of a switch to the back-up environment : - Stopping of production system - Implementation of all emergency procedures - Verification of restart points - Making the emergency system available to granted users
STPEP 2 - SETTING UP (2 to 3 days)
INSTALLATION: Installation of product on 2 IBM System i New release and change installation procedure
SETTINGS: Description of different steps Back-up site settings Settings for the different groups to be secured:
- Applications (data and objects) - System Environment (security, configuration) - The IFS - Spool management - System values
PRODUCTION: Implementation of automation procedures - Start up procedures - Integration of Quick-EDD/HA into the site global production scheme (IPL, back-ups…) - Supervision of Quick-EDD/HA
TRAINING: User training
SWITCH: Implementation of switch procedures (log book)
Product philosophy
- Data verification
