Failover Maestro MHO

olpmdER — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 16:45:18 GMT

Hello,

We have a dual site MHO but signe MHO in each site we want to force failover, is there any cli command to do it from the MHO ?
Just we want to make it admin down and admin up like in clusterXL.

Thank you.

Best regards,

For Orchestrator you are looking for "orchd stop"

As stated in https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_Maestro_AdminGuide/CP_R81.20_Quantum_Maestro_AdminGuide.pdf

Thank you Lesly for your help.
Is there any other command without restarting the services of the MHO or putting down the SGMs in the side of the actif MHO , a soft failover.

like in clusterXL
'clusterXL_admin down ; clusterXL_admin up' and not 'cpstop; cpstart'

Site failover is handled at the SGM level, MHOs are not clustered like gateways are. If you set site 1 down or change the site priority on the SGMs you will achieve site failover.

There Is something like chassis_admin -b site_number down. It Will failover to the other site. It Is done at a SG level, not for all the SGs together
