Manually Recover a Failed Server - Move IP Address

To recover a failed server when Move IP redirection is used

1. Boot the Master server without a network connection, to avoid IP conflicts.

   The Is Alive check from the Replica to the Master recognizes resource failure, and makes the original Replica the active server.

2. From the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog on the Master, remove the additional IP address.
3. Reboot the Master server, and reconnect to the network.
4. If the HA scenario is not already running, start the scenario from the Manager by clicking the Run button.

   If the Run Reverse Replication Scenario after Switchover property was set to On, the scenario runs in backward mode, from the original Replica to the original Master. The original Master which now acts as the standby server.

5. Wait for the synchronization to complete.
6. To return the active role to the Master server, perform a manual switchover by clicking the Perform Switchover button on the Standard toolbar.

   Note: We recommend that you perform the manual switchover outside of normal business hours.
