Execute Failover Tasks

Switch from your primary instance to the standby instance during outages.

During outages, you can switch from your primary instance to the standby instance by updating the DNS record of the parent or common custom endpoint in the OCI DNS zone (or at your DNS provider). The traffic routes to the secondary File Server instance and file replication starts.

After the failover process, the standby instance becomes your primary instance, and the instance previously designated as primary becomes the new standby instance.
