Hi All,
How do you guys go about setting up a freenas server to be used as production in case the main server fails?
I am thinking maybe using replication in the first place, Ideally I would like something with minimal changes required so everyone would not notice I change the server. And minimal down-time.
Is there anything wrong with reading the config file from the main server, setting up a different IP address, and setting up replication? After that in the event of the main server failing, just turning off the main server and setting up the redudant server with the main server ip address?
Would this work? Any other tips?
Thank you
