Note:

If you want to then switch back to the original console, you must recreate it as a replica administrative node, then fail over to it.

  1. Install the new replica administrative node.
  2. In the run.properties file, change the value for pa.operational.mode to CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA.

    This property is case-sensitive.

  3. Click Settings and then go to Clustering > Administrative Nodes.
  4. Change the Primary Administrative Node host name and port to the failed-over node.
  5. Remove the Replica Administrative Node public key, then change the Replica Administrative Node host name and port to point to the new replica node.
    Tip:

    If your key pair does not include a wildcard, you can use the same host name as the original console to avoid having to recreate the console key pair and the bootstrap.properties files for each engine.

  6. Click Save & Download to download the bootstrap file for the replica administrative node.
  7. Copy the downloaded file to the new replica administrative node's <PA_HOME>/conf directory and rename it to bootstrap.properties.
  8. Edit the <PA_HOME>/conf/run.properties file on the new replica administrative node and change the value of pa.operational.mode to CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA.
  9. Start the new replica node.
  10. To verify replication has completed, monitor the <PA_HOME>/log/pingaccess.log file and find the message Configuration successfully synchronized with administrative node.
