23: StandbyConnect
Usage: fmsadmin STANDBY CONNECT [STANDBY_HOST] [options]
Description:
Initiates a standby configuration connection to STANDBY_HOST. On
successful connection, the server that ran the command is changed to a
primary server and STANDBY_HOST is changed to a standby server.
You cannot run the STANDBY CONNECT command on a server that is already
defined as a primary server or a standby server.
STANDBY_HOST is the network name or IP address of another standalone
FileMaker server. STANDBY_HOST cannot be a server that is already defined
as a primary server or a standby server.
This command generates a temporary setup code. Note the setup code
and run the STANDBY ACCEPT command on STANDBY_HOST.
This command has several prerequisites. The hardware and operating systems
of the two servers should be identical, and the FileMaker Server settings
must match. Close all hosted files before running this command. The
STANDBY_HOST should not have any files in the hosting folders.
Options:
-w seconds, --wait seconds
Specify time in seconds for command to time out.
--overwrite
Allow STANDBY_HOST to have files in the hosting folders, and overwrite
conflicting files.
