Recovering Data in a Community with One Primary Database and One Secondary Database (SRC CLI)

In an environment in which a community includes one database assigned a primary role and another database assigned a secondary role, and the primary database is not operative, you must promote the secondary database to primary and reconfigure the inoperative primary database.

  1. On the database that has a secondary role, set the role to primary.

    For example, if the database on C2 has a secondary role:

      user@C2# edit system ldap server community
      [edit system ldap server community]
      user@C2# set role primary
      user@C2# commit

    C2 already has C1 configured as primary neighbor.

  2. On the existing database that has a primary role, remove the neighbor as secondary and add it as primary.

    For example, to configure C1 as a primary database with C2 as a primary neighbor:

      user@C1# edit system ldap server community
      [edit system ldap server community]
      user@C1# set role primar y
      user@C1# delete secondary-neighbors C2
      user@C1# set primary-neighbors C2
      user@C1# commit
