How to handle a DR situation in eMAM

eMAM DR server will be functional only if there is a natural or forced DR situation is happened. Please make sure eMAM Primary Web/DB server and Application servers are down before proceeding further.

·  Log on to the Web/DB server at the DR site. Open SQL Server Management Studio using Windows Authentication (Administrator) or      SQL Server Authentication (emam\eM@M2014).

·  Navigate to Always On High Availability and expand all the way to “eMAMDB”.

·   We will need to make “eMAMDB” on this node as Primary. For that, right-click on “eMAMDB” and click on failover.

· It will open a wizard. Click on Next.

· Click next on the pages and click on the Finish button on the summary page.

·  Make sure the wizard ended up without any errors.

·  Now, open the folder called “DR Plan” on the Desktop of the Administrator user.

·  Open the “Execute when the primary is down.sql” script using SQL Server Management Studio.

·  Login to SQL Server Management Studio using Windows Authentication (Administrator) or using SQL Server authentication (emam\eM@M2014).

·  Make sure you are logging into the DR SQL instance.

· Once you have successfully logged in to SQL Server Management Studio, execute the script in eMAM Database (emamdb). Make sure it is not in the Master Database.

·   eMAM will now update all the required information to the eMAM database for the servers from the DR site to start functioning.

·  Once this script is successfully executed, go to the Application server on the DR site and start eMAM Services.

·  Your eMAM instance from the DR site is now fully functional.
