Description

The Set-AzSqlDatabaseSecondary cmdlet switches a secondary database to be primary in order to initiate failover. This cmdlet is designed as a general configuration command, but is currently limited to initiating failover. Specify the AllowDataLoss parameter to initiate a force failover during an outage. You do not have to specify this parameter when you perform a planned operation, such as recovery drill. In the latter case, the secondary database is synchronized with the primary before it is switched.

Examples

Example 1: Initiate a planned failover

$database = Get-AzSqlDatabase -DatabaseName $databaseName -ResourceGroupName $secondaryResourceGroupName -ServerName $secondaryServerName
$database | Set-AzSqlDatabaseSecondary -PartnerResourceGroupName $primaryResourceGroupName -Failover

Example 2: Initiate a forced failover (with potential data loss)

$database = Get-AzSqlDatabase -DatabaseName $databaseName -ResourceGroupName $secondaryResourceGroupName -ServerName $secondaryServerName
$database | Set-AzSqlDatabaseSecondary -PartnerResourceGroupName $primaryResourceGroupName -Failover -AllowDataLoss

Parameters

-AllowDataLoss

Indicates that this failover operation permits data loss.
