Disabling SOAR Disaster Recovery

You can run an action to disable Disaster Recovery (DR). You typically do this before upgrading the SOAR Platform.

About this task

The ssh keys are removed when you complete this action.

Procedure

  1. On the master appliance, manually disable and stop the SOAR Platform by running the following commands:
    sudo systemctl disable resilient
    sudo systemctl stop resilient
  2. On the master appliance, to verify that the receiver is fully synchronized with the master, complete one of the following:
    • Run the following command, which runs in a loop until the receiver appliance is synchronized:
      sudo bash resDrStatus -w
    • Run the following command:
      /usr/share/resilient-dr/ansible/scripts/run_dr.sh -a dr_receiver_synced -i <resilient_hosts_primary_machine_a>
      This action completes successfully when the receiver is fully synchronized with the master appliance. It is important to run this action with the correct inventory file, as the check synchronization task is skipped if the resDrStatus tool is not found.
    Note: If you want to cancel disabling DR, you must re-enable and start the SOAR Platform on the master appliance manually, as follows:
    sudo systemctl enable resilient
    sudo systemctl start resilient
  3. To disable DR on both appliances, run this command from the current master system:
    /usr/share/resilient-dr/ansible/scripts/run_dr.sh -a disable_dr -i <resilient_hosts_primary_machine_a/b.yml>
