7 Complete Server Outage (All Servers) - Recovery Scenario 5.1.1

Scenario

  • All NOAM servers failed
  • All SOAM servers failed
  • 1 or more MP servers failed

This is the worst case scenario where all the servers in the network have suffered complete software failure. The servers are recovered using OVA images then restoring database backups to the active NOAM and SOAM servers.

Database backups will be taken from customer offsite backup storage locations (assuming these were performed and stored offsite prior to the outage). If no backup files are available, the only option is to rebuild the entire network from scratch. The network data must be reconstructed from whatever sources are available, including entering all data manually.
