Editing and Managing Scenarios and Hosts › Synchronize Registry Keys

Synchronize Registry Keys

In addition to synchronizing and replicating application data, Arcserve RHA enables you to synchronize the Master and the Replica registry keys. Using the Registry Synchronization option, you can select which registry keys on the Master will be copied to the Replica, and define the synchronization frequency. You can copy the Master registry keys to the same location on the Replica, or you can change the name and storage path of the synchronized keys. If there are multiple Replica hosts in the replication tree, the registry synchronization process is applied to all of them. The registry keys are not replicated in real time. They are copied from the Master to the Replica on a scheduled basis, according to the frequency you defined.

Important! Use this feature with caution. Changing registry keys may result in system failure.

Notes:

• This feature does not apply to applications that block the access to their registry keys, or to applications whose registry keys cannot be altered.
• By default, the Registry Synchronization option is disabled.

There are several steps in configuring and running the Registry Synchronization option:

1. Activating the Registry Synchronization property.
2. On the Master host, selecting the registry keys to be synchronized.
3. [Optional] On the Replica host, selecting the name and storage location for the synchronized registry keys.
4. Running the scenario to start the registry keys synchronization.
