BES site resilience architecture Hi, I am in the process of deploying the 2 data center site resiliency model outlined in the 5.0.3 planning guide. I just installed my first server pair (1 server in PDC and 1 in SDC). It just occured to me and I cant find it specifically... do I need another license with a differen't license/SRP/auth? - Joe |
Re: BES site resilience architecture I believe you would need a second set of license info because you're planning on having 2x Primary servers. No more than one BES can use an SRP at a time. |
Re: BES site resilience architecture Thanks geofftech Another question: the 2nd instance gets its own database correct? I believe so but want to verify. |
Re: BES site resilience architecture it does not have to have its own database, It might be better to have them share then you can just move from one BES to the other with a few clicks. with separate databases you have to use transporter and that will take some time to move users over. BES supports SQL mirror with witness |
Re: BES site resilience architecture Page 44 out of the Planning_GUIDE PDF: You can connect all of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to the BlackBerry Configuration Database in data center one. So looks like it shares the same database |
Re: BES site resilience architecture So I have another question. I am reading through the docs and trying to find exactly step by step for creating the pools. Basically I am trying to follow the site resiliency model to the T. I currently have 2 pairs setup. Pair1: pdcbes1, sdcbes1 Pair2: sdcbes2, pdcbes2 I need to create pools for the following services: Admin service (1 pool, use HLB on all 4 servers) - I believe this is done default MDS Connection (primary pool (pdcbes1, sdcbes2), secondary (sdcbes1, pdcbes2)) - HLB needed? BAS (primary pool (pdcbes1, sdcbes2), secondary (sdcbes1, pdcbes2)) Collaboration (primary pool (pdcbes1, sdcbes2), secondary (sdcbes1, pdcbes2)) - also need to use the HLB communication between Lync and BES (Guide anywhere?) The next question is according to documentation I need to configure the Pair2 to connect to the Exchange servers in the SDC. Well when I added the besadmin account it automatically picked up its rpcclientaccess server which was in PDC. Is there a way to force the Pair2 to always use the CAS servers in the SDC? (DNS name pointing to VIP of LB in SDC). |
Re: BES site resilience architecture How many users are you making this for? Do you have T support from RIM? I think you may be wanting to get it with this big of a setup. I dont want to discourage you from posting, its just what you are doing is a lot more than many of us have done. I do want to assist with what I can and maybe even learn a few things as you progress. |
Re: BES site resilience architecture Quote:
Initially only a couple hundred users, but potentially 3,000. The main goal though is complete HA and site resilience. Downtime needs to be minimized as long as even 1 of the 4 BES servers are online. Currently my setup is as follows: Primary Data Center: pdcbes1, pdcbes2 Standby Data Center: sdcbes1, sdcbes2 I have made the following pairs according to the white paper guidance: Pair1: pdcbes1(P), sdcbes1(S) Pair2: sdcbes2(S), pdcbes2(P) The configuration database lives on a MS SQL cluster in PDC with a mirror at the SDC. By Component: BlackBerry Admin Service: I have BAS installed on all 4 servers. Currently DNS points me URL directly to 1 server but plan on using a HLB for this. BlackBerry Enterprise Server:
