Backing Up and Restoring Snapshots in an High Availability Pair

Oct 08, 2015

You can back up and restore snapshots in a high availability pair. To do so, you need to make sure the configuration on both App Controller virtual machines (VMs) is the same. You export the snapshot from the current, primary App Controller. Then, you shut down the secondary App Controller. Then, you import the snapshot to the primary node and restart App Controller.

To back up and restore snapshots in a high availability pair

  1. Export the snapshot from the current primary node in the pair.

    For more information, see To export a snapshot.

  2. Shut down the secondary node in the pair.
  3. Import the snapshot to the single master node.
