Geo Switch Role

To switch GR role (for example, role Primary to Standby), use the following command.

geo switch-role role role instance-id gr_instanceId failback-interval interval_in_sec 

NOTES:

  • role role —Specify new role for the given site.

    Role can be maintenance, primary, or standby.

  • instance-id gr_instanceId —Specify GR Instance ID

  • failback-interval interval_in_sec —Specify interval in seconds between notify failover and actual failover.

geo switch-role command triggers manual failover from one site to another site for specific instance ID. The site which triggers the failover is moved from PRIMARY role to STANDBY_ERROR role. In between, the site which triggers failover, sends a failover (trigger GR) message to another site. The other site which receives the failover message is moved from STANDBY role to PRIMARY role.
