This video covers the following scenario:

Scenario 2: Short-Term Node0 Primary Failure

That is, the Primary server has suffered a short-term failure.

Future Videos Coverage:

Scenario 3 [TBD - NW 11.4.1 Upcoming Feature]: Failover to Standby with different IP -- that is, we have a Standby in a complete different geographic and IP subnet that we failover to/from.

After failing back to the original primary SA, is the UI of the secondary SA (standby) supposed to still have the hosts and the services online?

[NaushadKasu1]

Yes, there is no cleanup operation that sets the standby that became primary then went back to standby. It'll still show all the services but should not be used as Primary will keep pushing snapshot data to the Secondary for future failover(s).

Thanks Naushad for the video. Could you please upload video showing Failover to Standby with different IP .

[gbrisset]

Agreed, we are waiting for video coverage for Scenario 3 Failover to Standby with different IP. We have to redesign our infra to comply with regulatory requirements and have been impatiently waiting for this procedure for almost a year now. Great work by the way, very informative.

Thanks!
