Failover Maestro MHO

[olpmdER]

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...

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'

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

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.
