Name
Manage > HighAvailability > Switchover — Switch the services between the two nodes in a high availability (HA) setup.
SYNOPSIS
Switchover hostname
DESCRIPTION
This command switches the services from one node to the target node in an HA setup. Use this command for a planned upgrade or maintenance, because such operations need to be performed on the node where the MSDP service is not running.
Note:
You cannot perform this operation with the virtual hostname or virtual IP address. You need to use the physical hostname or physical IP address.
The MSDP-related backup and restore jobs are terminated during the switchover. Make sure that no such jobs are running before the switchover.
Note:
This command can only be used on appliance model 53xx media servers. Appliance model 52xx primary or media servers cannot be used to run this command.
OPTIONS
Switchover hostname
Use this command to switch the services from one node to the target node. The hostname is the hostname of the target node.
