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.
