How to configure automatic cluster change at distaster?

Hi, I am designing an scenario where client has all productive instance in a site, and a disaster recovery site that only uses when some service in main site goes down.

I have a cluster with 2 VAs for main site, and another cluster with another 2 VAs that resides in Disaster Recovery site.

If something happens at the man site, is some configurable way to let connectors change cluster automatically? Or should I alter source with some workflow?

Hi @jsosa,

on this page you can find all possible combinations for a failover plan:

For your case I think you have the Switch Clusters configuration, so the connections switch automatically

I imagine this could be done with a workflow, but I’ve written a PowerShell Script that does this.

You just have to make sure to re-add the credentials to each connector when changing the cluster. It’d be more difficult to maintain security of the credentials in a workflow, but can leverage windows credentials in PowerShell. The script would need to be run on-demand or through some event trigger where the script can receive it.
