Changing active orchestrator to standby orchestrator

You can change the orchestrator instances from active orchestrator to standby orchestrator by using command-line interface (CLI).

Using the command-line interface

To switch the instance from active orchestrator to standby orchestrator, follow these steps:
  1. Enter ls3siteconfig command to validate the status of active orchestrator and standby orchestrator.
    [root@localhost 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 17160
    auxnear_name Aux_Near
    auxnear_site_name
    auxnear_site_status online
    auxnear_ip1 x.xxx.xxx.xx
    auxnear_ip1_status reachable
    auxnear_ip2
    auxnear_ip2_status not_configured
    auxnear_port 17161
    auxfar_name Auxfar_MM
    auxfar_site_status online
    auxfar_ip1 x.xxx.xxx.xxx
    auxfar_ip1_status reachable
    auxfar_ip2
    auxfar_ip2_status not_configured
    auxfar_port 17162

  2. Ensure that both orchestrators are up and running. To change standby orchestrator to active orchestrator and active orchestrator to standby orchestrator, enter the following command on active orchestrator:
    [root@localhost home]# ch3siteconfig -standby -force
    Note: The command might take couple of minutes to change standby orchestrator to active and active to become standby.
  3. To verify whether the change is successful, enter the ls3siteconfig command to validate configuration.
    [root@rhel7host108 home]# ls3siteconfig
    master_name Master
    master_site_name
