Learn how to safely shut down and restart the standby cluster, ensuring data consistency and a healthy recovery.
Safely shut down the standby cluster without Maintenance Mode and bring it back online with data consistency.
In geo HA deployments, the standby cluster can be shut down while data continues syncing from the active cluster, ensuring consistency without the need for Maintenance Mode.
Before you begin
-
Ensure you do not place the standby cluster in Maintenance Mode.
-
Verify that data is syncing from the active cluster.
Follow these steps to shut down and restart the standby cluster safely:
Procedure
| 1. | Shut down the standby cluster without placing it in Maintenance Mode. |
|
| 2. | Keep the active cluster running so it continues syncing data during the shutdown. |
|
| 3. | Power on the standby cluster when needed to start its automatic recovery. |
|
| 4. | Wait for the standby cluster to become fully healthy, which may take about 20–40 minutes. |
|
| 5. | Trigger an on-demand sync from the active cluster or wait for the next periodic sync. |
