SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill demonstrates how to ensure continuous and undisrupted access to data by utilizing InterSystems IRIS's data resiliency features, including mirroring for high availability and disaster recovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Data Resiliency: Covers crash recovery, high availability, and disaster recovery.
  • Write Image Journaling: Protects against physical data corruption and loss during system crashes.
  • Mirroring: Provides high availability and disaster recovery through synchronous or asynchronous data replication.
  • Use Case: Set up a mirrored InterSystems IRIS database, simulate a primary member failure, and observe automatic failover to the backup member, ensuring data accessibility.

Quick Start

Deploy a mirrored pair of InterSystems IRIS instances in the cloud and test data synchronization and failover.

Frequently Asked Questions about InterSystems IRIS Demo: Data Resiliency and Mirroring

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up database mirroring for high availability and disaster recovery?

Database mirroring for high availability is set up by deploying a mirrored pair of InterSystems IRIS instances to replicate data synchronously or asynchronously, enabling automatic failover and ensuring continuous data access during primary member failures.

What is write image journaling and how does it protect against data corruption?

Write image journaling protects against physical data corruption and loss during system crashes by maintaining recovery logs, enabling InterSystems IRIS to restore database integrity and support crash recovery upon restart.

How does automatic failover work in a mirrored InterSystems IRIS deployment?

Automatic failover in a mirrored InterSystems IRIS deployment works by detecting a primary member failure and immediately redirecting operations to the backup member, ensuring uninterrupted data accessibility and business continuity.

Can I use asynchronous data replication for geographically dispersed disaster recovery configurations?

Yes, asynchronous data replication can be used for geographically dispersed disaster recovery configurations, allowing InterSystems IRIS mirror members across distant locations to synchronize data without the latency constraints of synchronous replication.

What is the best way to test data synchronization and failover in InterSystems Cloud Manager?

The best way to test data synchronization and failover is to deploy a mirrored pair of InterSystems IRIS instances in the cloud using InterSystems Cloud Manager, simulate a primary member failure, and observe the automatic failover to the backup member.
