Disaster Recovery Linux Manager (DRLM) is a Central Management Open Source Software for Linux Disaster Recovery and System Migrations, based on Relax-and-Recover (ReaR).
DRLM provides Central Management and Deployment from small to large Linux Disaster Recovery Implementations bringing a great Centralized Management Tool to Linux SysAdmins.
With DRLM SysAdmins can add/delete/modify networks and ReaR clients to manage, run backups and enable/disable Disaster Recovery system images to recovery through network.
Professional services and support are available.
For more detailed information about Disaster Recovery Linux Manager, please read the Disaster Recovery Linux Manager Project Web Page.
As DRLM has been solely written in the bash language we need the bash shell which is standard available on all GNU/Linux based systems.
Also requires some system services in order to work properly:
- isc-dhcpd
- nfs-server
- rsync
- tftpd
- qemu-utils
- sqlite3
All other required programs (like sort, dd, grep, etc.) are so common, that we don't list them as requirements. In case your specific workflow requires additional tools, Disaster Recovery Linux Manager will tell you.
DRLM is a tool to manage REAR systems, so all clients need REAR package and its dependencies to work properly.
For detailed documentation of DRLM and all system and software requirements, please visit: http://docs.drlm.org
On RPM based systems you should use the drlm RPM package. Either obtain it from the DRLM homepage or build it yourself from the source tree with:
$ make rpm
This will create an RPM for your distribution. The RPM is not platform- dependant and should work also on other RPM based distributions.
On DEB based systems you can execute the command:
$ make deb
For more information about Disaster Recovery Linux Manager installation, please read the Disaster Recovery Linux Manager Documentation Page.
To configure Disaster Recovery Linux Manager you have to edit the configuration files in '/etc/drlm/'. All '*.conf' files there are part of the configuration, but only 'local.conf' are intended for the user configuration.
For more information about Disaster Recovery Linux Manager configuration, please read the Disaster Recovery Linux Manager Documentation Page.
