Fault Tolerance
• The ability of a network or a computer to go on working in spite of one or more component failures.
• Achieved by eliminating “single points of failure.”
• Achieved primarily through redundancy.
![Page 7: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Redundancy in the Server
• Eliminates the most common “single points of failure.”
• Uses multiple components in parallel so that if one component fails another takes over.

Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives (RAID)
• RAID is a way of coaxing two or more inexpensive, slow, unreliable drives to perform in concert so that they act like a more expensive, faster, reliable drive.
![Page 11: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A disk system with RAID capability:
• Protects its data and provides on-line, immediate access to its data, despite a single disk failure.
• Provides for the on-line reconstruction of the contents of a failed disk to a replacement disk.
RAID Advisory Board (RAB)
![Page 12: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Various RAID implementations exist. They are identified as Levels.
• The basic implementations are called level 0 through level 6.
• A higher level is not necessarily better than a lower level.
![Page 13: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Backup Power
• Standby Power Supply (SPS)• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
![Page 27: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Standby Power Supply (SPS)
• An “off-line” device that functions only when normal power fails.
• A sensor detects AC power failure and switches over to standby power.
• Standby power is provided by a battery and a power inverter.
![Page 28: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
• An “on-line” device that constantly provides power.
• In the event of an AC power failure there is no switchover to standby power, because the UPS is constantly “on-line.”
• It “conditions” the AC input, isolating the computer equipment from all variations in AC power.
![Page 31: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The UPS conditions the AC line against:
• Power outages – Total loss of AC power.• Surges – Temporary voltage rises.• Sags – Temporary voltage drops.• Noise – High frequency voltage spikes,
both up and down.

Disaster Recovery
• The ability to return to an acceptable level of operation after a disaster.
• Requires a well thought-out disaster recovery plan.
• A comprehensive implementation of the plan.
• Frequent testing and updating of the plan.
![Page 38: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
7 Steps to Disaster Tolerance
• Initiate the project• Form a project team• Complete a needs analysis• Develop a plan that encompasses both protection
and recovery• Implement the plan• Test the plan• Constantly update the plan
![Page 39: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What’s in the Protection Plan?
• Procedures and policies describing how the facility, its functions, and data are to be protected.
• List of new protective equipment, software, and services needed along with a budget, procurement schedule and installation schedule.
• A step-by-step procedure and timetable for upgrading the data center from its present state to a protected state.
![Page 40: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What’s in the Recovery Plan?
• Procedures and policies describing how and under what conditions the recovery plan should be activated.
• Basic protective and recovery information on each major piece of equipment.
• Names and telephone numbers of key corporate officials and the emergency management team members.
• Address of off-site backup facilities, with name and number of contact person.
• Location of backup tapes and disks.
![Page 41: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What’s in the Recovery Plan? (continued)
• Names and phone numbers of key hardware, software and services vendors.
• Model numbers, serial numbers, as well as warranty and service agreement information on major pieces of equipment.
• Insurance policy numbers and information.• Documentation of the equipment, software,
configuration and wiring infrastructure of the data center.
![Page 42: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
24 X 7 X 365
• 24 hours per day• 7 days per week• 365 days per year
![Page 43: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Backing up the Main System
• Hot Site Backup• Warm Site Backup• Cold Site Backup
![Page 44: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Hot Site Backup
• A duplicate and running complement of computer hardware and software ready to take over immediately should the main system become unavailable for any reason.
• Data on the main system is backed up to the duplicate system in real time.
• If the main system fails the duplicate can take over operation without any downtime.
![Page 45: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Warm Site Backup
• A duplicate complement of computer hardware and software ready to take over in a reasonable length of time should the main system become unavailable.
• Data is not backed up to the duplicate system in real-time, but could be restored from back up tapes or other media.
![Page 46: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Cold Site Backup
• An off-site location that can be used in case the main site is inoperable.
• Ready to go, but with no equipment installed.
• Least expensive to maintain.• The recovery time is quite long compared
to hot-site or even warm-site backup.
![Page 47: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Implement the Plan
• Buying and installing the equipment, software, and services necessary to bring the data center up to a protected state.
• Training in the discipline of new policies and procedures.
• The plan may be so extensive and so expensive that it must be phased in over time.
• Every day that the plan is delayed, the company is at risk.
![Page 48: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Test the Plan
• The only way to insure the plan works.• Simulate a disaster.• Test the plan regularly and thoroughly.
![Page 49: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Constantly Update the Plan
• New equipment• New software• New people• New tasks
![Page 50: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Safeguard the Disaster Recovery Plan
• Make duplicate copies.• Make certain that duplicate copies are
updated when the master copy is updated.• Make sure key people know where the
document can be found.
![Page 51: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Need for Frequent and Regular Backup
• The most effective way to prevent data loss.• Protects all but the most recent data.• Protects against hardware failure,
equipment theft, hackers, viruses and vandals.
• Storing backups in a different location protects against fire, flood and other natural disasters.
![Page 52: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Backup Considerations
• What data should be backed up?• How often should the data be backed up?• What type of backup media should be used?• What type of backup scheme should be
used?
![Page 53: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
What data should be backed up?
• Backups require time and media.• Backups must not exceed the capacity of
the backup device. • Ask yourself: “Can I afford to lose this?”• It is better to err on the side of caution.
![Page 54: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What data need not be routinely backed up?
• Operating Systems• Application software• Historical data that does not change
![Page 55: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
How often should the data be backed up?
• Trade-off of risk versus benefit.• Ask yourself: “How much data can I afford
to lose?”• Daily backups are the most common.• But circumstances may dictate anything
from continuous real-time backups to weekly backups.
![Page 56: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
What type of backup media should be used?
• Magnetic Disks• Optical Disks• Magnetic Tape• Internet Backup
![Page 57: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Types of Backup
• Full• Incremental• Differential

The Full Backup is:
• A straightforward method of insuring good backups and quick, easy restorations.
• The starting point for the Incremental and the Differential Backups.
![Page 62: Lesson 20. Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e175503460f94b028ea/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Incremental Backup
• Records only those files that have changed since the last Incremental or Full Backup.
• Takes the shortest time to record.• Generally takes the longest time to restore.• Generally requires several tapes to restore.
