CLI cookbook: failing over a namespace

This topic describes how to use the command line interface to fail over a namespace.

Procedure

1. Switch to the namespace context and list the namespaces on the system.

   delphix> cd namespace
   delphix namespace> ls
   Objects
   NAME           
   [172.16.203.93]
   
   Operations
   lookup
   

2. Select the namespace to failover.

   delphix namespace> select [172.16.203.93] 
   delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]">
   

3. Failover the namespace.

   delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]"> failover
   delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]" failover *> commit
   

Failover

Failover will sever the replication connection and make objects in the namespace part of the live system. This will prevent the target from receiving subsequent incremental updates.
