Key Pointers
• The Remote farm does not need to be identical in scale terms
• Consider failover however. What if you make the standby farm read / Write
• Could be used for maintenance process.
• Production farm is taken offline for 2 hours whilst patching takes place.
• User redirected to standby farm
• Will be Read Only by Default
• Can be switched to Read / Write …. Carefully consider this !!
• Alter database [Content db name] set read_write with no_wait
Key Pointers - Continued
• Ensure you replicate any settings on your production farm with your
standby farm such as custom solutions / Managed Paths / certificates /
web.config changes etc.
• Use database backup / restore to ensure your service application
databases are kept up to date on the standby farm
• If you have created new Site Collections in the production farm run a
dismount / mount command to update the site collection count in the
standby farm.
• Dismount-SPContentDatabase
• Mount-SPContentDatabase
• A redirect ( DNS – Load Balancer ) will be needed to send people to the
standby farm’s servers.
