This topic describes how to use the command line interface to fail over a namespace.

Procedure

  1. Switch to the namespace context and list the namespaces on the system.

    delphix> cd namespace
    delphix namespace> ls
    Objects
    NAME           
    [172.16.203.93]
    
    Operations
    lookup
  2. Select the namespace to failover.

    delphix namespace> select [172.16.203.93] 
    delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]">
  3. Failover the namespace.

    delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]"> failover
    delphix namespace "[172.16.203.93]" failover *> commit
    Failover

    Failover will sever the replication connection and make objects in the namespace part of the live system. This will prevent the target from receiving subsequent incremental updates.
