Note:
Native Directory in the standby environment handles all calls until the primary environment is
brought back online and the load balancer is configured to route calls to the primary
environment.
➤ To deploy Native Directory for failover in cold standby mode:
1 Install Shared Services in the primary and standby environments. Refer to the Hyperion Shared Services
Installation Guide for instructions.
2 Configure and deploy Shared Services in the primary environment.
You need not configure or deploy Shared Services in the standby environment.
3 Verify that Hyperion S9 OpenLDAP service or process is running in the primary and secondary
environments.
4 Stop the Hyperion S9 OpenLDAP service or process in the secondary environment.
5 Move Native Directory data to the shared drive or volume. This drive or volume must be visible to the computers
hosting Native Directory instances in primary and secondary environments.
a. Create the var/openldap-data directory structure to store Native Directory data.
b. Move the contents of
< openLDAP_Home >/var/openldap-data from the primary
environment to the
var/openldap-data directory on the shared drive or volume.
6 Modify slapd.conf in both primary and secondary environments.
a. Using a text editor, open < openLDAP_Home >/slapd.conf.
b. Modify the
directory parameter so that it points to the directory where Native Directory
data is stored on the shared drive.
c. Save and close the files.
7 Configure the load balancer and monitoring application.
