Promoting a Secondary Database to a Primary Role in a Configuration with One Primary Database (C-Web Interface)

Although all communities should have two databases with a primary role, if a community includes one database assigned a primary role and another database assigned a secondary role, promote the database assigned a secondary role to a primary role.

To promote a Juniper Networks database from a secondary role to a primary role:

1. On the database that has a secondary role, set the role to primary.
   1. Click Configure, expand System LDAP>Server, and then click Community.

      The Community pane appears.

   2. In the Primary Neighbors box, verify whether the other database is listed as a primary neighbor. If it is not, add it.
   3. In the Role box, select Primary, and click Apply.
   4. In the side pane, click Commit.
2. On the existing database that has a primary role, remove the neighbor as secondary and add it as primary.
   1. Click Configure, expand System LDAP>Server, and then click Community.

      The Community pane appears.

   2. In the Secondary Neighbors box, remove the database listed.
   3. In the Primary Neighbors box, add the other database in the community, and click Apply.
   4. In the side pane, click Commit.
3. (Optional if you have two databases with a primary role in a community) Switch the role of the database that originally had a secondary role back to secondary.
   1. Click Configure, expand System LDAP>Server, and then click Community.

      The Community pane appears.

   2. In the Primary Neighbors box, remove the database that is to become the secondary database.
   3. In the Secondary Neighbors box, add the database, and click Apply.
   4. In the side pane, click Commit.
