Aux-far site and active orchestrator failure and failback

If active orchestrator is failed, you can shutdown the active orchestrator for standby orchestrator to takeover.

Using the command-line interface

The following cases are the failure and failback of active or standby orchestrator:
Aux-far site failure with both orchestrators and failback
  1. If Aux-far site with orchestrator is failed, standby orchestrator status appears as disconnected.

  2. After recovery of Aux-far site, standby orchestrator status appears as online.
    [root@rhel7host108 home]# ls3siteconfig

Active orchestrator failure and failback
  1. To validate the status of both orchestrators, enter ls3siteconfig command.
    [root@rhel7host108 home]# ls3siteconfig
    master_name Master
    master_site_name
    master_site_status online
    master_ip1 x.xxx.xxx.xx
    master_ip1_status reachable
    master_ip2
    master_ip2_status not_configured
    master_port 16000

    auxnear_site_status online
    auxnear_ip1 x.xxx.xxx.xx
    auxnear_ip1_status reachable
    auxnear_ip2
    auxnear_ip2_status not_configured
    auxnear_port 16001
    auxfar_name Aux_Far
    auxfar_site_status online
    auxfar_ip1 x.xxx.xxx.xxx
    auxfar_ip1_status reachable
    auxfar_ip2
    auxfar_ip2_status not_configured
    auxfar_port 16002
    username tuser
    keyfile /root/.ssh/pw_rsa
    topology metromirror
    orchestrator_version 4.1.221016120803
    orchestrator_ha_status online
  2. If active orchestrator is failed, shutdown the orchestrator in this scenario.
    [root@rhel7host108 home]# shutdown
  3. Standby orchestrator takes over the role of active orchestrator after five retries on standby orchestrator. It might take 8 minutes to start data cycling on standby orchestrator. After taking over the role of active orchestrator, as there is only one orchestrator active, standby orchestrator appears as standby_offline.
    [root@localhost home]# ls3siteconfig

    master_site_status online

  4. After the old active orchestrator rejoins, it assumes the role of standby orchestrator, and orchestrator_ha_status appears as online.
