💖 HB_TAKEOVER 💖

okay so bestie, this is hb_takeover from the General commands manual — and yes, we're gonna get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

hb_takeover — issues a failover request to the cluster manager

like, it literally walks up to your cluster and goes "hey. move over. i'm taking this." 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hb_takeover [all|foreign|local|failback]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This command is deprecated. It is only suitable for legacy Heartbeat clusters without Pacemaker enabled. In Pacemaker-enabled clusters, the crm(8) shell supports switching individual nodes into standby mode, and replaces hb_takeover.

so yeah, she's a legacy queen 👑 — iconic, but retired. if you're on a Pacemaker cluster, go talk to crm(8) instead, it's got the standby-mode glow-up and it fully replaces her.

/usr/share/heartbeat/hb_takeover issues a request to the cluster to move resources to the node where it is invoked, from the other node. 🧚

and here's the cute little equivalency, no cap: issuing hb_takeover on the current node is equivalent to performing hb_standby on the other node. same energy, different address 💖

🎀 CAVEATS 🎀

hb_takeover is only usable in R1-style configurations (i.e., those configured using the haresources file).

fr fr, if you're not running an R1-style setup with an haresources file, this whole thing is not for you. it's giving ✨niche✨.
