Question: 

How do you reinstall DE Standby server on other box?

Environment:  

CA Workload Automation DE 11.3.3

Answer:

Please follow the procedures below:

1.  In the Standby server, open the "server.properties" file, and take note of the value of the "espresso.guid" parameter, it will be used in the step 4 as <GUID of standby>

For example:

espresso.guid=10.10.10.10_8299_INSTANCE

In step 4,  the <GUID of standby> will be "10.10.10.10_8299_INSTANCE"

2.  Shutdown both DE Primary and Standby servers (the Standby first).

Note: You must keep the old Standby server powered off and ensure that it will never start. Once the process is finished and the environment is re-established,  the old Standby server is suggested to be uninstalled.

3.  Take a backup of the dSeries database.

4.  Run following queries to delete the entry from the ESP_CONFIG_GROUP table:

->  select [ESP_CONFIG_GROUP].ID from [ESP_CONFIG_GROUP] where [ESP_CONFIG_GROUP].NAME = <GUID of standby>

Note: the above query will return an ID number. Take note and use it in the next query:

->  delete from [ESP_CONFIG_GROUP] where [ESP_CONFIG_GROUP].ID = <ID from query above>

5.  Install new Standby server.

6.  Start the Primary server.

7.  Start the Standby server.
