Adding Primary Follower

To troubleshoot adding a Primary Follower, take the following steps.

  1. In the upper right GUI, click on the Jobs/Errors icon.

  2. In the Search bar, enter "Add Super Follower" to search for "Add Super Follower".

    In the Status column, the job must be Done, and in the Progress column, the progress must be 100%.

    The following logs (with keyword "670-Cluster-AddSuperFollower") can be found in /opt/phoenix/logs/phoenix_config.txt. For the sample logs below, 10.65.20.71 is the Leader and 10.65.20.78 is the Follower.

Follower becomes Leader

After you have executed the failover steps, take the following steps to confirm the switch of Follower becoming Leader.

  1. In the upper right GUI, click on the Jobs/Errors icon.

  2. In the Search bar, enter "Switch Follower DB" to search for "Switch Follower DB".

    In the Status column, the job must be Done, and in the Progress column, the progress must be 100%.

The following logs (with keyword "670-Cluster-SwitchFollowerDB") can be found in /opt/phoenix/logs/phoenix_config.txt. For the sample logs below, 10.65.20.71 is the Leader, 10.65.20.78 follows 10.65.20.71, 10.65.20.77 follows 10.65.20.78 and 10.65.20.79 follows 10.65.20.77.
