How to change central node type manually from Failover Node

[rohitk1609]

Hi Techies,

I have 5 servers in my Qlik site

1. Central node(Master Node)

2. Scheduler Node1(Failover Candidate) and Scheduler Node2(Failover Candidate)

3. Consumer Node1 and Consumer Node2

On one incident, services of Central node(Master Node) have been stopped and Scheduler Node2(Failover Candidate) took the charge then Scheduler Node2 is MASTER type with scheduler as MASTER only and Central node became SLAVE and now my new config is

1. Central node(slave or scheduler node)

2. Scheduler Node1(Failover Candidate) and Scheduler Node2(Master Node)

3. Consumer Node1 and Consumer Node2

I want to make my Central node back to Master type of master node. Can please anyone tell me what is the best way to change a node's node type or make my old central node back to master node ?

Thanks,

Rohit

Then you need to get the central node to be central node back again.  the easy way would be shutting down all the failover candidates and leave central node up and wait 10 mins to take place/revert. If you cannot wait 10 mins, you could reduce the failover timeout to a lower number ( read article#https://support.qlik.com/articles/000037043) but once it is done make sure to revert the timeout to 10mins. Once it has reverted to back central node to be central node, you may start all other nodes.
