VLC Mirroring

[MohdSaadKhan]

Can we build a back up of VLC and create a new VLC with the same config, settings and ip, so in case our VLC is down then we can continue with the backup VLC ? Do anyone have any idea on this.

[DeepanshuSood1]

VMotion is the solution.

[MohdSaadKhan]

Without VMotion is this possible? We don't have that.

Then keep the backup vlc ready with all the required configurations, but keep the ethernet port down, just up it when required in emergency.

And keep added the VLC in the log decoder & on SA.

Can we create a copy of VLC instead of creating backup of VLC? And can it be done on server running in  production.

If No then how can we create the backup?

[DeepanshuSood1]

I am not sure that how we can create a vlc copy without a vmotion in the environment, but we can create a vlc which will be on a standby mode always and when required it will be used as a replacement of production vlc only for syslogs, snmp, snare, winrm & odbc, vmware only, but surely not in a file reader collection method.

But in winrm, snmp, odbc, vmware, chkpoint-the configurations of all these collection method must be imported on the backup vlc & it should be tested.
