command to force master to slave

Morris over 5 years ago

Hello All,

Is there any command to force master to slave without rebooting Master.

Checked initial configuration everything is properly setup.

Please advise.

Hello Morris,

I think the command:
service mdw restart

should do the job. It does only restart he middleware and triggers a HA failover.
Please tell us if this helped you.

Best regards

Alex

Hi Morris,

Restarting middleware will force a failover. Almost 8 years ago, one of the original developers, Ulrich (da_merlin), recommended a command found in the KB article Alex linked to in his second post above:

ha_daemon -c takeover
