JIRA FAIL OVER implementaion

Nagaraja1

HI

I am trying to implement JIRA failover in linux machine. I need help in file replication.

I have extracted JIRA in my Home directory of linux. Please let me know what are the files need to be replicated to support failover.

We have SAN file over approch and directory is in different.

How to link those directories?

Jira has several parts, so it depends on how you've installed it and where.

The application is pretty much fixed in terms of disk access, you can replicate the application directories and forget them. You should have installed that in a separate area to the "jira home" directory.

You must replicate the content of the database, wherever that is

Now, under "jira home", there's several sections

You must replicate the content of the attachments directory if you are using them - you can see/set the path for those in the admin screens, but it will be under the "jira home"

You should replicate the plugins directory, or you'll need to reinstall them after failover

There are temporary files that you don't need in other directories, the application will rebuild them, so don't worry about them

Finally, there's the index. Technically, you should replicate it if you want a near-instant failover. In real life, putting it on a SAN can slow the access to the point of unusability, so it might be impossible. You need to test that before you replicate it.
