Performing alternate host recovery

To enable an alternate host recovery, copy the required user configuration file and auto configuration file from the source machine to the destination machine. Modify the configuration file parameter settings provides details about the configuration files.

You must replicate the directory path of the configuration files on the destination machine by using either of the following methods:

• Create the directory path on the destination machine by creating each subdirectory in the path separately with the same permissions, user, and group as the destination SID. For example, create the following directory path, where the source instance is SID:

  /usr/sap/SID/SYS/global/ppdmconfig

• Create the directory path on the destination machine, and assign full permissions. For example:

  1. Go to the /usr/sap directory:

     cd /usr/sap

  2. Create the required directory path, where the source instance is SID:

     mkdir -p SID/SYS/global/ppdmconfig

  3. Assign full permissions to the directory path:

     chmod -R 777 SID/

Then copy the user and auto configuration files from the source machine to the directory path. When the configuration files are in place, the steps for performing the alternate host recovery are the same as the steps for restoring the database to the same host.
