Manual Switchovers

You can trigger a manual switchover in the HA node by using the ACLI notify berpd force command. This command forces the two Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controllers in the HA node to trade roles. The active system becomes standby, and the standby becomes active.

In order to perform a successful manual switchover, the following conditions must be met.

• The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller from which you trigger the switchover must be in one of the following states: active, standby, or becoming standby.
• A manual switchover to the active state is only allowed on a Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller in the standby or becoming standby state if it has achieved full media, signaling, and configuration synchronization.
• A manual switchover to the active state is only allowed on a Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller in the standby or becoming standby state if it has a health score above the value you configure for the threshold.
