Change failover priority or trigger failover for an Azure Cosmos DB account with single write region by using PowerShell

  • Artikkeli

APPLIES TO: NoSQL MongoDB Cassandra Gremlin Table

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

This sample requires Azure PowerShell Az 5.4.0 or later. Run Get-Module -ListAvailable Az to see which versions are installed. If you need to install, see Install Azure PowerShell module.

Run Connect-AzAccount to sign in to Azure.

Sample script

Note

Any change to a region with failoverPriority=0 triggers a manual failover and can only be done to an account configured for manual failover. Changes to all other regions simply changes the failover priority for an Azure Cosmos DB account.

Note

This sample demonstrates using a API for NoSQL account. To use this sample for other APIs, copy the related properties and apply to your API specific script

# Reference: Az.CosmosDB | https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/az.cosmosdb
# --------------------------------------------------
# Purpose
# Update Cosmos DB account: Change region failover priority.

# Variables - ***** SUBSTITUTE YOUR VALUES *****
$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup" # Resource Group must already exist
$accountName = "myaccount" # Must be all lower case
$locations = @("West US", "East US") # Regions ordered by UPDATED failover priority
# --------------------------------------------------

# Get existing Cosmos DB account
$account = Get-AzCosmosDBAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $accountName

# Update account failover priority
Update-AzCosmosDBAccountFailoverPriority -InputObject $account -FailoverPolicy $locations

Clean up deployment

After the script sample has been run, the following command can be used to remove the resource group and all resources associated with it.
