Site A: Master and potential replica
Site B: Sync replica
Table 3‑9. Link Failure Between Two Sites when all Nodes Remain Up and Online
Expected Behavior No downtime for the vRealize Automation deployment. The potential replica automatically
becomes the sync replica.
Further Action No manual action is required.
The following table describes behavior and actions related to a link failure between two sites in a high
availability deployment with the specified configuration when all nodes remain up and online.
Site A: Master
Site B: Sync and potential replica
Table 3‑10. Link Failure Between Two Sites when all Nodes Remain Up and Online - Alternate
Configuration
Expected Behavior Sync replica becomes the master and automatically picks up appliance database functionality.
Automatic failover agent promotes the potential replica to become the new sync replica.
vRealize Automation deployment operates in read only mode until this promotion completes.
Further Action No manual action is required. When the link is recovered, the automatic failover agent resets
the former master as replica.
Configure the Appliance Database
You can use the Virtual Appliance Management Interface Database page to monitor or update the
configuration of the appliance database. You can also use it to change the master node designation and
the synchronization mode used by the database.
The appliance database is installed and configured during vRealize Automation system installation and
configuration, but you can monitor and change the configuration from the Database tab on the Virtual
Appliance Management Interface.
The Connection Status text box indicates whether the database is connected to the
vRealize Automation system and is functioning correctly.
If your appliance database uses multiple nodes to support failover, the table at the bottom of the page
displays the nodes, and their status and indicates which node is the master. The Replication mode text
box shows the currently configured operation mode for the system, either synchronous or asynchronous.
Use this page to update appliance database configuration.
The Sync State* column in the database nodes table shows the synchronization method for the cluster.
This column works with the Status column to show the state of cluster nodes. Potential status differs
depending on whether the cluster uses asynchronous or synchronous replication.
