Hello,
We are trying to rebuild a Solutions Enabler server for data collection from our DR data center. We've run out of space to build another VM, so our storage team is throwing out some options. One of the suggestions was to build a second OCI collection server - this doesn't sound feasible as it might prove problematic when it comes to collection and reporting. Below are the two suggestions, and I am pro-#2:
- 1) Build a 2nd Collection server for OCI. This server can run a compatible 32 bit code for Solutions enabler to connect to our existing physical server at the DR site which runs the corresponding level of SE and has all the gatekeepers already masked to it. Currently there is only 1 collection server for OCI and we cannot run a 32 and 64 bit version of SE on the same server. The Production and Lab are running 64 bit versions. The One at our DR site is running 32 bit which is why we would need a 2nd OCI collection server to support a 32 bit version.
- 2) Build a new physical server at Boyers and we install SE 64 bit on it and configure the existing OCI collection server to work directly with it. The server can be a windows server and will have to be san attached to both even and odd fabrics at boyers.
Any insight you might be able to provide would be helpful. I'm just doing some homework here and would like some input.
Thank you!
Julia
