Replica failure workflow

The table below outlines what happens when the replica for an active/passive link fails.

Step What you do What happens
Replica fails
1

On the primary system, suspend the link

 
Replica comes back online
2

If the replica has been rebuilt:

On the replica, upload the replication SSL server certificate from the primary system

On the primary system, upload the replication SSL server certificate from the replica

 
3

On the primary system, update the link configuration as needed

 
4

If the link is broken, on the primary system, send a request to restore the link

For a cross-release link, pending link request appears on the replica

Otherwise, replication link is recreated; applicable tenants and directories on the primary system remain read-write; applicable tenants and directories on the replica are read-only

5

For a cross-release link, on the replica, accept the restored link

For a cross-release link, replication link is recreated; applicable tenants and directories on the primary system remain read-write; applicable tenants and directories on the replica are read-only
