How to Force Immediate Takeover of Hitachi TrueCopy Services by a Secondary Cluster

Before You Begin

Before you force the secondary cluster to assume the activity of the primary cluster, ensure that the following conditions are met:

• Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software is up and running on the cluster.

• The cluster is a member of a partnership.

• The Configuration status of the protection group is OK on the secondary cluster.

Steps

1. Log in a node in the secondary cluster.

   You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC.

2. Initiate the takeover.

   # geopg takeover [-f] protection-group-name

   -f

   Forces the command to perform the operation without your confirmation

   protection-group-name

   Specifies the name of the protection group
