Hi

We are running LN on 1 server with the following VRC setup

B61a (base)
to
B61U a std (derived from base)
to
B61C a lsmp (production VRC derived from B61U a std)
to
B61T a lmst (test VRC derived from production VRC)

First of all I think the setup is incorrect as when I install a patch it gets installed to B61U a std and this will affect live and test environment immediately.

My question is can this be changed so when I apply a patch it will only affect test VRC only so I can perform additional testing and then I can apply it to Live VRC. Can this be done on the same server.

Hi thaykhov,

a suitable VRC structure can be discussed for hours na dhours. Many different approaches and objectives exist here.

My two cents are:

In an ideal world, you should have the test and the production system seperated on two seperate physical or virtual servers. Whatever the VRC setup, without this seperation, you are limited:

- Tools pacthes will effect the whole system and can not be tested
- Portringset patches will effect the whole system and can not be tested
- Crash Recovery and Restore can not be tested.

Now if two systems are really not possible, then you could set up your VRC structure to split up directly after the base VRC and create to update VRC. This might force you to scan solutions several times or to connect them manually to the right VRC. Messy, but possible.
