Sharing this vital piece of information if we want to configure high availability for BES for a standby Domino server. Was debating with a colleague if Domino clustering is required until I read these from the BES5.0 Admin guide.

This is applicable to installation of another Domino server as a standby server for your primary BES using the same SRP ID.


Configure the IBM Lotus Domino servers for BlackBerry Enterprise Server high availability

Before you install the standby BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you must configure the IBM® Lotus® Domino® servers to replicate data so that the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server has access to the same data as the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server has access to. You must create an IBM Lotus Domino cluster that includes the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server and standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server and create a schedule for replicating data such as the BlackBerry state databases and BlackBerry profiles database.

1. On the IBM Lotus Domino Administrator console, create a cluster that includes the server that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the server that hosts the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
2. Add the servers to the clusters immediately.
3. Open the Server document for the server that hosts the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
4. On the Security tab, type both server names in each of the following fields:
- Run unrestricted methods and operations
- Create database & templates
- Create new replicas
- Create master templates
- Administrators
5. Click Save.
6. Open the Server document for the server that hosts the standby 6. BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to update the server that hosts the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
8. Schedule replication for the servers.
