Reconnecting DR Series Systems

Reconnecting DR Series Systems

If a system administrator removes a member DR Series system from the ADS domain or if authentication to a member DR Series system fails (such as when the system is down), then the Global View dashboard displays a red icon in the Status column next to the appliance. If one or more red icons are displayed, the Reconnect Units link is enabled on the Global View page. To reconnect a DR Series system to the Global View, complete the following:

1.
The Reconnect DR Units dialog box appears.
2.
In Domain Name (FQDN), enter the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in which the DR Series system resides. Keep in mind that the system must be in the same login group and have identical credentials to the system on which you are working.
3.
In Username, enter the domain username for the DR Series system. For example, DOMAIN\administrator. This should be identical to the credentials used in all other systems in the Global View.
4.
In Password, enter the domain password for the DR Series system. This should be identical to the credentials used in all other systems in the Global View.
5.
Click Reconnect.
The DR Series system attempts to reconnect only those DR Series systems that are currently disconnected.

The Reconnect DR Units Report is displayed, indicating whether the reconnection was successful or unsuccessful. If the reconnect action is successful, the Status of the connected DR Series system displays a green icon. However, if there are unresolved underlying issues such as issues with the network connection, issues with a WAN connection, or issues with the DR Series system that prevent a good connection, then the Reconnect DR Units Report indicates failure.

Using the Reconnect Report

Using the Reconnect Report

The Reconnect DR Units Report provides information about your most recent attempt to reconnect DR Series systems. The link to access the Reconnect DR Units Report is only enabled after you attempt to reconnect DR Series systems. To view the Reconnect DR Units Report, complete the following:

On the Global View page, click Reconnect Report.
The Reconnect DR Units Report is displayed. If all DR Series systems were successfully reconnected the last time you clicked Reconnect Units, then the report indicates that all DR Series systems were successfully connected. However, if the reconnect failed, then the Reconnect DR Units Report displays the FQDNs of the disconnected DR Series systems with a message indicating the issue. For example, the message No route to host indicates that the system was unable to ping the DR Series system from the current location because either the system is down, or the router is unable to route traffic to the system.

After you review the Reconnect DR Units Report, click Close to return to the Global View page.
