Hi Ben,

 

Cheers for the response.

 

We are reviewing our DR procedures and Business Continuity Plans. This includes being able to recover failed or failing devices/servers in our environment. For example SQL Server that runs Infocentre that drives numerous operations in the business such as Lead Management, Management Information and is part of our core systems for our Telematics Brand.

 

We have recently replaced our InfoCentre SQL Server and would not have been able to facilitate the switch-over out of Business Hours without access to Linux Passwords.

 

Regards

You will be able to make the necessary changes via the InfoCentre Plus web interface.  You can then use the lrun commands to restart InfoCentre Plus.

In addition, if you used the same DNS name for the SQL server you replaced, a reboot of Core will allow it to mount the share folder.

If you have a separate DR server, you can have this preconfigured to a separate SQL server.

I hope this helps.

Hi James,

Just so I understand your concerns around access to Linux, are you able to detail what you need it for?

The reason I ask is that there has been a lot of enhancements to Core, and as a general rule, you should not need to access Linux to administer the server.

Thanks,
