How to Change a Site Membership Role

Perform this procedure to change the role of a site cluster between member and controller.

Before You Begin

• If you use a role with Geo Management rights, ensure that the /var/cluster/geo access control lists (ACLs) are correct on each node of both partner clusters. If necessary, assume the root role on the cluster node and set the correct ACLs.

  # chmod A+user:username:rwx:allow /var/cluster/geo

  The /var/cluster/geo directory must have the correct ACL applied for compatibility between the Geo Management rights profile and data replication software.

  For more information, see Securing Geographic Edition Software in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Geographic Edition Installation and Configuration Guide.

1. From a node of a site controller cluster, assume the root role or assume a role that is assigned the Geo Management rights profile.
2. Change the site role of the cluster.
   • To change a site member to a site controller, use the following command.

     site-controller# geosite set-role -c cluster site

   • To change a site controller to a site member, use the following command.

     site-controller# geosite set-role -m cluster site

     -c

     Specifies the site controller role.

     -m

     Specifies the site member role.

     cluster

     The name of the cluster to change roles. You can specify more than one cluster from the same site in a single geosite set-role command by using the –c or –m option for each cluster that you want to change roles.

     site

     The name of the site with which the cluster has membership.
