Install and configure the
BEMS-Connect
cluster

  1. Install
    BEMS
    on each
    BEMS-Connect
    server at the primary site. Select the
    Connect
    option in each case. Use a new database to create a new cluster that is dedicated to
    BlackBerry Connect
    .
  2. Install
    BEMS
    on each
    BEMS-Connect
    server at the secondary site. Select the
    Connect
    option in each case. Add the servers to the same database that you used in step 1.
  3. In the
    BEMS-Connect
    console for this cluster, configure a list of
    BlackBerry Proxy
    servers from several servers of BPCluster1 and several servers of BPCluster2. This list is used only for startup. Enable synchronization for all servers.
  4. In the
    BEMS-Connect
    Service Configuration for this cluster, configure a list of
    BlackBerry Proxy
    servers from several servers of BPCluster1 and several servers of BPCluster2. This list is used only for startup. Enable synchronization for all servers.
    If you cannot add a list of servers (depending on the version of your software), then you must change the BPCluster during a disaster recovery event.
  5. Configure the appropriate instant messaging (for example,
    Skype for Business
    ) and
    Active Directory
    settings (for example, the
    Lync
    front-end pool).
  6. Configure a
    BlackBerry Proxy
    server for the .NET service.
  7. Stop the services on the servers at the secondary site.
  8. In the
    BlackBerry UEM
    management console, in the Default
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    connectivity profile, do the following:
    1. Under
      App servers for BlackBerry Connect
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Connect
      servers at the primary site, set the
      Priority
      to PRIMARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
      to BPCluster1.
    2. Under
      App servers for BlackBerry Connect
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Connect
      servers at the secondary site, set the
      Priority
      to SECONDARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
      to BPCluster2.
