16 4.0 Procedure Preparation

Disaster recovery procedure execution is dependent on the failure conditions in the network. The severity of the failure determines the recovery scenario for the network. Use Table 4: Recovery Scenarios below to evaluate the correct recovery scenario and follow the procedure(s) listed to restore operations.

Note:

A failed server in disaster recovery context refers to a server that has suffered partial or complete software failure to the extent that it cannot restart or be returned to normal operation and requires intrusive activities to re-deploy base software.
