Data gateway - Change Primary
Why delete A? You will want to keep your failover setup.
The choreography is as follows:
- Have your recovery key handy. Nothing will work without that.
- Delete B from the cluster
- Register B as a replacement Primary in the cluster, kicking out A.
- Add the now orphaned A back into the cluster as a secondary gateway
You will not want to do this via Powershell.
Log in to the management app on B. Specify "Take over". Select the Primary. Provide the Recovery key.
When successful B will be the new anchor and A will be orphaned.
Hi Ibendlin,
if I understand correctly the steps to take are:
remove node B from the cluster
uninstall the DataGateway from server B
rerun the DataGateway setup on server B and perform the takeover
is this correct?
Thanks you
no need to remove B from the cluster first (but it also doesn't hurt if you do).
