L.3 Migration from the Standby Scenario to a Virtual Machine

This section describes how to migrate an existing SwyxWare Master/Standby installation to a virtual machine to make it highly available through appropriate virtualization platform features.

After this migration, the availability of SwyxWare is no longer realized by switching from a master to a standby system, but by a VM restart (vSphere HA) or a seamless switch to a mirrored VM (VSphere FT).

The migration can be carried out in the following steps:

1 Converting a Master SwyxWare to a Single System

2 Create a Back-up of SwyxWare data base

3 Reinstall SwyxWareon a virtual machine and back-up it
