HA Control Utility Command Reference

The Moogsoft Enterprise HA Control Utility ha_cntl is a command line utility to:

  • Control instance, process group, or cluster failover. For example, to switch from passive to active mode.

  • View the current status of all clusters, process groups, and instances. See High Availability Configuration Hierarchy for more information.

Normally you should configure groups in HA to use automatic failover in production. Use the HA Control utility to check the status of the HA system or to initiate failover in non-production scenarios.
