Switching Over and Switching Back › Initiate Switchover for a Group

Initiate Switchover for a Group

Once triggered, whether manually or automatically, the switchover process itself is fully automated.

To initiate switchover for a group

1. Open the Manager and select the group from the Scenario pane. Verify if it is running.
2. Click Perform Switchover.

   A confirmation message appears.

3. Click OK on the Perform Switchover confirmation message.

   This procedure initiates a switchover from the Master server to the Replica server. The operation stops when the switchover completes.

   Detailed information about the switchover process is located in the Events pane during switchover. A message appears in the Event pane, informing you that the switchover is completed, and that the scenarios in the group have stopped. Now, the Master becomes passive and the Replica becomes active.
