Procedure 8-5 To perform a 5620 SAM database switchover using the
5620 SAM client GUI
Perform this procedure to use the 5620 SAM client GUI to switch the primary and
standby database roles. Before you perform the procedure, ensure that you understand
the following implications of a switchover.
• The primary and standby database roles are reversed.
• The primary main server connects to the new primary database.
• Archive logging begins on the new primary database.
• The primary main server directs each auxiliary server to connect to the new
primary database.
1 Log in to the client GUI as a 5620 SAM user with the admin scope of command role.
2 Choose Administration→System Information from the 5620 SAM main menu. The
System Information form opens.
3 Click Switchover and respond to the dialog box prompt.
4 Click Yes. The 5620 SAM server performs the database switchover.
5 Close the form.
Procedure 8-6 To perform a 5620 SAM database switchover using a
CLI script
Perform this procedure to use a CLI script to switch the primary and standby database
roles. Before you perform the procedure, ensure that you understand the following
implications of a switchover.
• The primary and standby database roles are reversed.
• The primary main server connects to the new primary database.
Caution — The execution of a database switchover depends on how
the database switchover behavior is configured. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends you review Procedure 8-4 before you attempt to perform
this procedure to verify the current database switchover configuration.
Note — The Switchover option is disabled when the correct switchover
conditions are not in place, for example, when a switchover or failover
is in progress.
