Change Appliance’s role
An onQ Appliance can have one of two roles: HA (for high availability) or DR (for disaster recovery). For a new onQ Appliance, the default is HA.
You’ll need to change the role on the on‑premises DR Appliance to HA if you experience a failure as outlined in
(Workflow) Fail over HA to DR Appliance, and only if there’s a failure that warrants such a change.
If, for example, you set the onQ Appliance’s role to HA, then onQ role: HA displays at the top of each UI page on that onQ Appliance. Until you change the other onQ Appliance’s role to DR, both Appliances indicate HA.
To change an onQ Appliance’s role:
1. Log on to the onQ Appliance’s onQ Portal.
2. Go to APPLIANCE CONFIG tab > onQ (LOCAL) page.
You will see a variety of settings for this onQ Appliance.
3. Click MODIFY.
4. In the onQ Role drop‑down list, choose the role you want to assign.
A window appears, asking you to reboot the onQ Appliance.
