Enabling Replicated Objects
Data Backup and Recovery Solutions / Replication / Enabling Replicated Objects

In order to complete the failover, you need to enable the objects on the now-primary Delphix Engine.

SSH Keys

If you were previously using password-less SSH key exchange on your source and/or target environments, you may need to publish the now-primary engine’s public key for continued functionality.

  1. Click Manage.
  2. Select Environments.
  3. Select any environment.
  4. Under Environment Users, click the edit icon () next to the defined user.
  5. Click View Public Key to display the public key for the Delphix Engine.
  6. Highlight the public key string (starts with “ssh-rsa”) and copy the key to your clipboard (Ctrl+C in Windows).
  7. On each source and target host within your defined environments, paste the public key into the environment user’s authorized_keys file, which is normally located in the user’s ~/.ssh/ directory.
Once the public key has been copied to the hosts making up your environments, you are ready to  enable the remaining objects.

Enabling Environments

In order to begin using the environments and related dSources and VDBs, the environments must first be started.

  1. Login to the Delphix Engine as delphix_admin or another user with administrative privileges.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Select Environments.
  4. Select an environment which you want to enable.
  5. Click or slide the slide bar, currently displaying Disabled (), to the right in order to enable the environment. This will initiate jobs that will refresh and enable the environment.
  6. Repeat these steps for each environment which you want to enable.

Enabling dSources

In order to again have actively syncing dSources, you must enable them.

  1. Login to the Delphix Engine administrative GUI as delphix_admin or another user with administrative privileges.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Select My Datasets.
  4. Click the dSource you want to enable.
  5. Click the Configuration tab.
  6. Click or slide the slide bar from Disabled to Enabled.
  7. Click Yes to confirm.

Enabling VDBs

The final step in the failover would be to enable any needed VDBs.

  1. Login to the Delphix Engine as delphix_admin or another user with administrative privileges.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Select My Datasets.
  4. Click the VDB you want to enable.
  5. Click the Configuration tab.
  6. In the upper right-hand corner, click or slide the slide bar from Disabled to Enabled.
  7. Click Yes to confirm that you want to enable the VDB.
 

At this time the failover is complete.  All objects previously running on the previous source Delphix Engine should now be running off of the Delphix Engine to which was failed over.
