You can reassign the object store mirror as the primary object store by promoting it. When the object store mirror becomes the primary, the original primary automatically becomes the mirror.

What you'll need

  • The FabricPool mirror must be in sync

  • The object store must be operational

About this task

You can replace the original object store with an object store from a different cloud provider. For instance, your original mirror might be an AWS object store, but you can replace it with an Azure object store.

Steps

  1. Verify that the FabricPool mirror is in sync using the storage aggregate object-store show-resync-status command. If the FabricPool mirror is in sync, no entries are displayed. If the mirror is not in sync, wait for the resync to complete.

    aggregate1::> storage aggregate object-store show-resync-status -aggregate aggr1
                                                   Complete
      Aggregate    Primary       Mirror        Percentage
      ---------    -----------   ----------    ----------
      aggr1        my-store-1     my-store-2     40%

  2. Promote an object store mirror by using the storage aggregate object-store modify -aggregate command.

    cluster1::> storage aggregate object-store modify -aggregate aggr1 -name my-store-2 -mirror-type primary
