ArcGIS Datastore Backup directory in a HA deployment #210

Closed azinsharaf closed 3 years ago

azinsharaf commented 5 years ago

Why ArcGIS Datastore backup directory values are not same in webgis-windows-ha-primary & webgis-windows-ha-secondary roles?

Primary.json:

"data_store":{
      "setup":"C:\\ArcGIS\\10.5\\DataStore\\Setup.exe",
      "data_dir":"C:\\arcgisdatastore\\data",
      "backup_dir":"\\\\fileserver\\arcgisdatastore\\backup"
},

Secondary.json:

"data_store":{
      "setup":"C:\\ArcGIS\\10.5\\DataStore\\Setup.exe",
      "data_dir":"C:\\arcgisdatastore\\data",
      "backup_dir":"\\\\fileserver\\arcgisdatastore\\ds_backups"
},

Hi @pbobov

I just got the confirmation from Esri Support Services that the "HA Data Store uses the Primary Data Store to create backups. You can only really use one location when you set the backup location. You only need one backup location for your datastore."

So to avoid any confusion I believe the backup_dir parameter needs to be same in 2 json files.

@azinsharaf Thank you for the feedback! We will update the JSON files accordingly.

This has been fixed in cookbook release v3.6.1:
