Initiating a Manual Failover

In a test environment, you can induce a failover in an otherwise healthy HA pair.

Run the following command on the secondary node: asc ha --mode primary

[localhost:secondary ~]$ asc ha --mode primary

Transitioning from secondary to primary

Migrating production networks, please wait...

Transitioning from primary to standalone

Stopping HA services, please wait...

Reconfiguring remote node, please wait...

Stopping HTCC on former primary, please wait...

Success: The High Availability system has been updated

Note: Failing over on the primary node (asc ha --mode secondary) is not supported.

To resume HA operations, use the same recovery steps above for recovering from an automatic failover.
