Failover and data recovery in Storage
Any Jive deployment beyond a simple pilot or proof-of-concept must use file system storage, where each web application node reads and writes from a shared disk system via NFS.
- Database
- This is the default binary file storage.
- File system
- This is the preferred binary file storage.
External storage failover in single data center HA configuration
In a single data center HA configuration, it's assumed that the external storage is redundant within the data center. For more information, see Designing single data center HA configuration.
In the event of a local (within the single data center) or a catastrophic (the entire data center) failure, it is assumed that the storage layer that Jive is configured with is redundant and that recovery is handled transparently by the underlying storage system.
External storage failover in multiple data center HA configuration
In a multiple data center HA configuration, it's assumed that the external storage is being replicated across the data centers transparently. For more information, see Designing multiple data center HA configuration.
