QMC redistribution on PROD and Disaster Recovery

[sten_still]

Hello all,

Currently i have this environment; PROD and Disaster Recovery (DR). 

I have a team to switch from one environment to another. 

I'm using CName for this environment instead of hostname because only one server to be active at one time. 

Engine 1 PROD Cname: qsengine1

Engine 1 DR Cname: qsengine1

I have installed the qliksense on the PROD with redistributed to the PROD server.

My question is, how do I going to redistribute the certificate for the DR environment since i already register the PROD engine1 into QMC. 

If this question seems complex, please reach me i will justify to everyone understanding. 

Thanks.

Hello @sten_still 

You should be able to export the certificates from the acting Prod server manually and import them into the DR server.  There should be 4 of them: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/February2023/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_De...

Also, have you had a chance to look through the Admin Playbook?

Hi @Mike_Dickson ,

I have successfully redistribute the cert into the rim nodes on the DR, now PROD and DR server sharing the same certificates for each of the server to functional at one time. 

Thank you.
