The tarantella array make_primary command

Syntax

tarantella array make_primary --secondary serv

Description

Makes a secondary server the primary server for the array that it's currently a member of. The previous primary server becomes a secondary server.

Subcommand	Description
`--secondary serv`	Specifies the peer DNS name of the secondary server to be made the primary server.

Note After running this command, it is advisable to wait until Secure Global Desktop has copied the changes to all array members before running any further tarantella array commands. This is complete when the tarantella status command returns the same result for each array member.

If you are using secure intra-array communication, the new primary becomes the certificate authority for the array and issues new server peer certificates to all members of the array.

Examples

tarantella array make_primary \
  --secondary boston.indigo-insurance.com

Makes the secondary server boston the primary server in the array.
