32.4 Restoring Identity Server

If any hardware failure occurs such as a failed hard disk on the Identity Server machine, you can preserve its configuration and apply it to the replacement machine.

  1. Remove Identity Server from the Identity Server cluster configuration. See Removing an Identity Server from a Cluster Configuration.

  2. Delete Identity Server from Administration Console. See Removing an Identity Server from a Cluster Configuration.

  3. Uninstall Identity Server. See Uninstalling Identity Server in the NetIQ Access Manager CE 24.2 (v5.1) Installation and Upgrade Guide.

    This is not required when you use a new machine for the restored Identity Server.

  4. Install the new Identity Server, which imports it into Administration Console. See Installing Identity Server in the NetIQ Access Manager CE 24.2 (v5.1) Installation and Upgrade Guide.

  5. If you have customized login pages, error pages, messages, or configuration files, copy these files to Identity Server.

  6. Assign the new server to Identity Server cluster configuration. See Assigning an Identity Server to a Cluster Configuration.
