[cisco-voip] Disaster recovery publisher

[voip at mrga.ch]

Hello

we run a Callmanager 4.2(3) Cluster with 6 servers (1 pub / 5 sub) and are
planning a disaster scenario where we loose our publisher. Every night we write
a BARS backup. So the backup data will be available for a restore.

If I set up a sever with the same software (OS / CCM / Extended Services / BAT /
TAPS / Locals / Service Packs) and the same IP and name information is it
possible to restore the BARS backup to this server? What are the subscribers
doing if the publisher has an older database than the subscribers?

For testing, can I just switch of my publisher restore the BARS to the backup
publisher and test the cluster and then switch back to the old publisher?

 

Thanks for help

And have a happy New Year
