Performing remote-site disaster recovery

When your local system experiences damage or disruption that prevents recovery from that site, you can recover by using a remote site that you have set up for this purpose.

Symptoms

The specific symptoms of a disaster that affects your local system hardware vary, but when this happens, the affected Db2 subsystem is not operational.

Causes

Your local system hardware has suffered physical damage.

Resolving the problem

System programmer response: Coordinate the activities that are detailed in Restoring data from image copies and archive logs.

Operator response: At the remote-site, the disaster-recovery procedures differ from other recovery procedures because you cannot use the hardware at your local Db2 site to recover data. Instead, you use hardware at a remote site to recover after a disaster by using one of a variety of methods.
