Overview 2.
2.1 Description and Operational Steps
The CS is managed by ONE Element Management System (EMS). The Disaster Recovery solution
provides a mechanism to failover the EMS, in case of unavailability or error, to another EMS. For the
Disaster Recovery capability to function, two EMS elements are needed: primary EMS (active and in
normal condition), and secondary EMS (standby - activated manually by the operator)
Note:
The Disaster Recover solution is not a High Availability (HA) solution.
The following lists the solution's major steps:
Installation and configuration of two EMS platforms (including software and databases).
Duplication of the primary EMS database, to the secondary EMS database.
Setting the secondary EMS to standby mode. The Data Guard mechanism transfers the modified
data from the primary EMS database and to the secondary EMS database (keeping it updated).
Manually running the scripts on the standby platform to bring it to an active state, when the active
EMS fails. During the failover the database completes its update from the primary EMS database, up
to the last transaction.
When the standby EMS turns active, the operator may rebuild the database on the failed EMS, and
to switch back to the recovered primary EMS, by:
Shutting down the secondary EMS, and disabling its processes
Invoking scripts to switch active database from the secondary to primary EMS
Bringing up and enabling the elements on the primary EMS. As the switchover operation takes
a matter of minutes no data loss should be experienced.
Note:
For a successful switchover, both platforms must have an identical time, and the same release and patch release.
Switchover may also be used for system maintenance or dry switchover testing.
The standby database recovery states, and the connectivity state between the two EMS elements shall
be displayed on the Alarms window.
2.2 Database Synchronization
The Oracle RDBMS release 11.2 Data Guard is used to handle the database synchronization between the
primary and the secondary EMS platforms.
The primary (active) and secondary (standby) databases are physically identical. Data synchronization
from the active to the standby database is performed by the redo logs, including online logs, standby
logs, and archived logs. The following diagram shows the database synchronization between the two
EMS platforms.
ControlSwitch (v.5.11.1) Disaster Recovery User’s Manual
Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 8
Figure 1: Database Synchronization
The data is stored in the primary EMS Oracle database, and when the secondary EMS is setup, it
continuously receives the provisioning and data modifications from the primary EMS.
Data changes from the primary EMS database transactions are transferred to the secondary EMS in a
timely manner to minimize data loss. Data changes on the primary EMS are applied to the secondary
EMS when the logs are available to reduce the system's recovery time.
After recovery and when the primary EMS and the database have been rebuilt, there will be no data loss
during the switching back operation to the primary EMS, as a result of a short down-time.
ControlSwitch (v.5.11.1) Disaster Recovery User’s Manual
Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 9
Disaster Recovery Methods 3.
Disaster Recovery offers the following two methods to handle both the planned and the unplanned
outages in a production site:
Switchover
Failover
3.1 Switchover
Switchover is a reversal between the active and standby databases, commonly used to handle a planned
maintenance on the production database.
The main difference between the switchover and the failover operations is that the switchover is
performed when the active production database is still available. The switchover does not require re-
instantiation of the database. This allows the active production database to assume the role of a
standby database within a matter of minutes (typically in 5 to 10 minutes). As a result, a scheduled
maintenance is performed easily. As an example, switchover may be used to perform an upgrade on the
primary site by switching over all the database clients to standby during the hardware upgrade.
3.2 Failover
Failover allows the operator to set the active production database to offline, and the standby database
to online, as the new active database.
A failover operation is invoked when an unplanned failure occurs on the active production database,
and there is no possibility for recovery in a timely manner.
In the failover operation the standby database takes the active role when disaster situations occur. In
EMS Disaster Recovery, the choice of the Maximum Performance mode, when setting up the standby
environment, does not prevent data loss during the failover operation.
Note:
After a failover, the original active database on the primary EMS (now the standby) must be re-instantiated using the new
active database on the standby EMS to assume its new role as a standby database. Precautions should be taken to consider the
Disaster Recovery as the one of the last resorts for data recovery.
There is no automatic failover from the secondary to the primary EMS. The operator needs to perform a
graceful fallback from the secondary to the primary EMS.
EMS Failover Causes 3.2.1
Examples of failover causes are as following:
The EMS became unavailable due to local site disasters such as fire, flood, or larger scale regional
natural disasters
The site hosting the EMS experienced extensive power outages and could not be restored in a
reasonable time
The EMS experienced a major hardware failure such as:
Bad CPU or memory
Broken disk controllers
Disk storage failure with no mirrored copy available
ControlSwitch (v.5.11.1) Disaster Recovery User’s Manual
Dialogic Inc. Proprietary Page 10
Redundant network interfaces were not accessible
The EMS major components were do not function because of a file system failure that cannot be
easily repaired
The EMS DB is corrupted and not operational, as a result of corruption or loss of data files, Redo
Logs and control files
Failover Decision 3.2.2
The operator makes the decision to failover, invoking the following operations on the standby EMS:
Apply the remaining transactions from the standby Redo Log to the standby database
Stop the managed recovery mode for the standby database
Force the standby database open to accept connections and transactions
Enable the startup scripts for EMS components and start the components
3.3 Terminologies
Active (state) - EMS/database that is currently the primary platform
Standby (state) - EMS/database that is not currently the primary platform
Primary (designation) - When an EMS is installed, one system is considered as Primary (typically this
is also the active EMS/database)
Secondary (designation) - When an EMS is installed one system is considered as Secondary (typically
this is also the Standby EMS/database)
In a disaster condition, the operator decides to failover to the secondary standby EMS. Figure 2 shows
the secondary platform's take over after a failover. Upon the primary EMS recovery, the secondary EMS
remains active until the operator switches over from the secondary to the primary EMS.

CS-BorderNet Integrated Systems 4.
If the CS is integrated with a BorderNet 4000 Session Border Controller (SBC), the CS information must
be re-sent to the SBC after the switchover/failover, even if the status of the failed EMS is displayed as
Success in the BorderNet configuration window.
To push the CS information to the SBC:
1. Select SBC BorderNet (Bnet)/Access Points (BNAP). The following window opens:
2. Select an SBC.
3. Click on the Send EMS Info button.
4. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 for all the involved SBCs.
5. Check the result of the Provisioning Status in the CS (applicable when DR EMS is deployed).

Requirements and Performance 5.
5.1 Platform Requirements
The following lists the disaster recovery requirements:
Primary and Secondary EMS platforms with the same or similar configurations.
A high-speed network interface and sufficient bandwidth between the two platforms for efficient
data transport.
Sufficient disk space for archive/backup directories for active and standby EMS platforms.
5.2 System Performance
The following tables provide disaster recovery performance, based on the following assumptions:
T1 = 1.54 Mb/s
T3 = 45 Mb/s
Compression rate = 4:1 for initial database copy
Each redo log size = 10 MB
