Changing Central Node Manually, 403 Error

justindallasverizon — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 18:54:44 GMT

Hello Folks,

I'm hoping to use Powershell to get my Qlik cluster to switch central nodes. Right now, I've got the following code which works correctly.

$hdrs = @{} $hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-xrfkey","12345678qwert2ui") $url = "https://002.megacorp.com/admin/qrs/ServerNodeConfiguration/full?xrfkey=12345678qwert2ui" $clusterNodes = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -Headers $hdrs -UseDefaultCredentials

But when I send the request to change, I get a 403. I am sending this request with RootAdmin privileges.

$destinationNodeName = '003.megacorp.com' $currentCentralNode = $clusterNodes | Where-Object { $_.isCentral -eq $true } $destinationCentralNode = $clusterNodes | Where-Object { $_.hostName -match $destinationNodeName } $destinationCentralNodeGuid = $destinationCentralNode.id $changeOverPutUrl = "https://003.megacorp.com/admin/qrs/failover/tonode/${destinationCentralNodeGuid}" Write-Host $changeOverPutUrl $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $changeOverPutUrl -Method Post -Headers $hdrs -UseDefaultCredentials

When I look into the logs, I see "InvalidConnection" along with the 403 code

What might I be doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

In the second Powershell script, did you try to perform a GET call, as described in this doc ?
