5 Close the form.
Procedure 7-6 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.
• 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 primary main server station as the samadmin user.
2 Open a console window.
3 Enter the following at the CLI prompt:
bash$ install_dir/switchoverdb.bash username password ↵
where
install_dir is the 5620 SAM server installation location, typically /opt/5620sam/server
username and password are the login credentials for a 5620 SAM client account with the required
privilege level and scope of command
The script displays the following confirmation message:
The standby database will become the new primary database,
and the old primary will become the new standby.
Do you want to proceed? (YES/no) :
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.
Caution — The execution of a database switchover depends on how
the database switchover behavior is configured. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends you review Procedure 7-4 before you attempt to perform
this procedure to verify the current database switchover configuration.
