How do I perform an NSP DR switchover from the NSP UI?
Purpose
|
CAUTION Service disruption |
Performing this procedure causes a temporary loss of network visibility, which may be service-affecting.
You must perform the procedure only with the assistance of technical support during a scheduled maintenance period.
Perform this procedure on the System Health dashboard to initiate a switchover in a DR deployment.
If the System Health dashboard is not accessible, see “To perform an NSP DR switchover in a CLI” in the NSP Troubleshooting Guide for the CLI procedure.

Performing this procedure causes a temporary loss of network visibility, which may be service-affecting. Ensure that no operations are performed on the DR clusters during the switchover. Note: Triggering a switchover forces the roles on both clusters to change regardless of the Auto-failover setting. Check the Auto-failover setting in How do I display the NSP DR failover setting? Click Proceed to continue with the switchover. During the switchover, the DR cluster status disappears and then the remaining dashlets on the System Health dashboard disappear. You are redirected to the standby cluster. | ||
