SFHA Solutions 6.1 (Linux): Change replication direction using vfradmin job promote and vfradmin job recover commands

[Diana_Pham]

The File Replicator (VFR) vfradmin command now supports the job promote and job recover keywords that enable you to change the file replication direction with a single command. You can use the job recover command after a disaster occurrs, and the job promote command under normal circumstances.

Use cases for the vfradmin job promote and vfradmin job recover commands include:

• Performing a VFR switchover
• Performing a VFR failover after a disaster
• Recovering a failed site if the failed source node comes up again
• Recovering a failed site if a new node is assigned as the target

For more information regarding recovering after a site disaster or network disruption occurs, see:
