Overview of the unplanned failover process
In some cases (for example, unexpected equipment failure), you may need to execute an unplanned failover for replication. The unplanned failover process differs from the planned failover process.
For unplanned failover, execute the following command from the target cluster:
Replication> continuous failover fs_name
Where fs_name is the name of the file system which is configured under continuous replication.
Once an unplanned failover happens, the target cluster becomes the new source cluster. It will online the file system at the new source cluster.
Note:
Though the commands used for planned and unplanned failover are the same, the intention and pre-requisites are different. For unplanned failover, the source cluster should be unreachable from the target cluster.
