What Features Are Unavailable While in Fault Tolerance

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

Support,

We are working to determine options for a full DR  Spectrum configuration.  To start  - we want to identify what features are ARE NOT available when in switched mode.  I don't see
  anything in techdocs which outlines the limitations of Fault Tolerance (aside from SRM and AlarmNotifier) for when a primary goes down and OneClick switches to the secondary.

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Resolution

Features that will NOT Work
---------------------------------------

User/Group Creation

    

Create a Schedule


Autodiscovery will not work if the MLS or "home landscape" is down.  You will see error SPC-OCC-10895 and SPC-OCC-10896

Global Collection Creation as you will receive a Create Error - The model <name> could no be created in some landscapes.  The secondary landscape is currently active.

- All the IP service (MPLS/Vpn/Evpn/QoS) discoveries are restricted and will not run on secondary.

- Most of the Integrations(UIM/VNA/CAPC) are restricted and will not do any inventory discovery.

Additional Information

*WILL WORK
---------------------------------------

ArchMgr
AlarmNotifier (typically requires script modification so only the active landscape fires)

Auto Discoveries as long as the MLS or home landscape is not down.
