Failover to standby in geo-redundant systems for VMware plugins
-
If the active cluster is still available, stop the VMware plugin.
Enter the following shell command:
helm uninstall prod-fss-connect-vmware-plugin
-
Initiate the switchover to the new active cluster.
For instructions, see
Initiating failover: switching between the active and standby clusters
in the Fabric Services System User Guide. -
When the new active cluster is operational, start the VMware plugin on the new
active cluster.
Enter the following shell command:
/root/bin/fss-vmware-plugin-install.sh -u <fss-username> -p <fss-password>
-
Initiate a Connect Full audit on the new active cluster for the VMware
deployment.
You can initiate this full audit while the VMware plugin is still performing its on-boot audit. The on-boot audit is cancelled in favor of the requested full audit.
Send the following POST request:HTTP(S) POST {connect_uri}/rest/connect/api/v1/admin/audits {"deploymentId": "<deployment_id>", "scope": "FULL", "dryrun": false}
Note: If there are multiple deployments, repeat this step for each deployment.
