Hi, we have a load balance BizTalk server and clustered SQL in production
Where as in DR there was on application and database server.
DR server is joined to production SSO and Group and implemented a log shipping as DR solution. On DR database we can always see databases in restore state.
We have a requirement from client that production system should not be stopped during DR exercise.
Now during DR exercise I need to update the database on DR SQL server using ssomange -updatedb command, as the server is joined to production system I can't stop Production SQL as DR has a dependency on Production.
But I am worried about real disaster case, there is no SQL server in real disaster case, so how could I use ssomanage on DR server.
An error occurred while attempting to access the SSO database.
Function: GetDeletedMappings
File: credentialcache.cpp:968
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server).
SQL Error code: 0x00000035
Error code: 0xC0002A21, An error occurred while attempting to access the SSO database.
I can't use secret file on DR from production, with out issuing ssomanage.
If I try to restore production master secret file on DR using ssoconfig -restoreSecret keyfile.bak I can see below error.
The secret key can be stored on master secret server only. So how to make my DR as a master secret server when there is no production system available, but the DR is SSO and Group joined to Production.
Please advise.
