Failover to standby in geo-redundant systems for VMware plugins

Use the following steps to switchover to the standby system for a VMware cloud operating a Fabric Services System managed fabric:
  1. If the active cluster is still available, stop the VMware plugin.
    Enter the following shell command:
    helm uninstall prod-fss-connect-vmware-plugin
  2. 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.

  3. 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>
  4. 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.
