refinery-failover(8) -- application failover management

Synopsis

refinery failover [option]

Description

Provides the ability to view the current failover state of the application and initiate a failover if required.

Options

--status

View the current 'primary' routing status of all Gateway processes. This option supports the [SPECIFIC GATEWAY FILTERING OPTION] and the [SPECIFIC PIPELINE FILTERING OPTION] described below.

--failover

Initiates a failover to a different pipeline instance from the current instance. If there is only a single instance for the specified pipeline, this option will fail. This option requires the [SPECIFIC PIPELINE FILTERING OPTION] and [FAILOVER OPTIONS] described below.

Specific gateway filtering option

--gateway gateway-name

Filters the failover status to a specific gateway

Specific pipeline filtering option

--pipeline pipeline-name

A specific pipeline to view the status or failover

Failover options

--to-instance instance-num

The target pipeline instance to failover over the specified pipeline to

--no-validate-downstream

By default, each GW attempts to register with all processes in the target pipeline instance before committing the failover request. If any of the downstream processes fail to register or the downstream process has failed, the failover is rejected.

Specifying this option causes the GW to skip all downstream validation checks before committing the failover request.
