2.4 Restoring an Identity Server

If an Identity Server machine experiences a hardware failure, such as a failed hard disk, you can preserve its configuration and apply it to the replacement machine

  1. Remove the Identity Server from the Identity Server cluster configuration. (See Removing a Server from a Cluster Configuration in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP4 Identity Server Guide.)

  2. Delete the Identity Server from the Administration Console. (See Managing an Identity Server in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP4 Identity Server Guide.)

  3. Uninstall the Identity Server. (See Uninstalling the Identity Server in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP4 Installation Guide.

    This might not be necessary, if you are using a new machine for the restored Identity Server.

  4. Install the new Identity Server, which imports it into the Administration Console. (See Installing the Novell Identity Server in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP4 Installation Guide.)

  5. If you have customized login pages, error pages, messages, or configuration files, copy these files to the Identity Server.

  6. Assign the new server to the Identity Server cluster configuration. (See Assigning an Identity Server to a Cluster Configuration in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP4 Identity Server Guide.)
