Note

  • Keep the following things handy during disaster recovery, depending on what is affected in your cluster.

    • New certificates are applicable if existing settings (domain/subdomain) are changed after recovery.

    • Production license as per new BI nodes in case any BI server impacted

  • You must use the disaster recovery capability in any of the following scenarios: 

    • If Kyvos Manager, BI Server, or Query Engine nodes are affected. 

    • If only the Kyvos Manager nodes are affected. 

    • If Kyvos Manager and all Kyvos nodes (BI Servers, Query Engines, Web Portal, and Postgres Server) are affected. 

  • If only the BI Server or Query Engine nodes are affected, then add a node for that service, and the cluster can be restored. You will not need to use disaster recovery capability for this case.

  • If you enable TLS for Kyvos Manager and Kyvos application, the TLS option is not applicable during the Disaster Recovery restoration. After successful restoration, the TLS-related certificates are restored, and you can continue with the TLS option.

Prior to the Kyvos 2024.1 release, Kyvos Manager restart is required only when TLS is enabled.
