    Dear All,

    We need to set up a DR environment for our PROD env.
    AS PROD and DR servers differs from IP. We want to operate the applicaiton with DNS name (for both DB and Application) . So in admin console where all we need to modify the server  IPs(applic and DB server IP) to DNS name.

    Please suggest.

    Hi Hari,

      You need to change your host ports in your servers. from IP or hostname to a generic DNS name

      From console:

      stop node agents or quit automatic synchronization.

      Servers->WebSphere Application Servers->SERVER_NAME->ports

      Change your host from actual hostname/IP to your DNS name.

      Change DMGR host from

      System Administration->DMGR->Ports

      In datasources, change the host of DB from IP or Host to DNS name

      Save the configuration.

      Stop and start DMGR. When you have DMGR up and running with DNS names...

      Synchronize nodes manually (stop servers and launch synchNode)

      Start nodes

      Do a test of your DR!!!!

      I have in several customers with DR in this way.

      Hope this helps. Tell us if you need more support

    regards
