How does a Vault Administrator configure the CyberArk Disaster Recovery (DR) solution to perform automatic failover in case of a failure in the Primary Vault?

The configuration of the CyberArk Disaster Recovery (DR) solution to enable automatic failover involves editing specific settings to ensure the system behaves as intended during a failure scenario. In this case, setting "EnableFailover=yes" in the padr.ini file is the necessary step.

The padr.ini file is crucial in the context of the Primary and DR Vaults. This configuration file focuses on parameters relevant to the productivity and connectivity of the vaults, and specifically, it manages the failover capabilities among the Vaults. By making this change, the Vault Administrator instructs the system to automatically switch to the secondary (or DR) Vault if the primary Vault becomes unavailable, thereby ensuring continuity of service and data protection.

Other configuration files mentioned serve different purposes within CyberArk’s architecture and do not pertain directly to the automatic failover process. While they are essential for overall system performance and operation, they do not facilitate DR failover conditions directly in the same manner as the padr.ini file.
