====== Restoring A Replicant Server To Master Server Status ======

In the event of your master server going offline and you need to restore your replicant database from read only to fully functional master server you will need to:

<note tip>Examples shown use fictional server addresses.  Your DB_CONFIG file will contain your DNS or IP addresses in the displayed code.</note>

Navigate to TapeTrack Framework Server installation folder (default installation location C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server)


[[server:start_stop|Stop the TapeTrack Framework Service]].

Open the file TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\var\db\DB_CONFIG in a text editor such as Notepad.

Using the # symbol comment out the lines of code:
<code>
rep_set_priority 0
repmgr_site replicant-1.tapetrack.com 5010 db_local_site on 
repmgr_site master.tapetrack.com 5010 db_bootstrap_helper on
rep_set_config DB_REP_CONF_BULK on
</code>
to match the following example
<code>
#rep_set_priority 0
#repmgr_site replicant-1.tapetrack.com 5010 db_local_site on 
#repmgr_site master.tapetrack.com 5010 db_bootstrap_helper on
#rep_set_config DB_REP_CONF_BULK on
</code>
Save the file.


[[server:start_stop|Restart the TapeTrack Framework Service]].


The Framework server will now function as a master server and not a replicant.

<note important>Any TapeTrack client software will need to use the DNS/IP connection to the appropriate server</note>
