Disable warm standby for Splunk SOAR (On-premises)

Disable warm standby to perform the following tasks:

  • Perform system maintenance
  • Configure a backup or restore your system
  • Upgrade

If you want to enable warm standby again after disabling it, you must recreate it. See Create a warm standby.

To disable warm standby, you must run commands on both the primary Splunk SOAR (On-premises) system and the warm standby system.

  1. Log in to the primary system from the command line as either the root user or as a user with sudo permissions.
  2. On the primary system, run the following command to turn off warm standby.
    phenv python /<PHANTOM_HOME>/bin/setup_warm_standby.pyc --primary-mode --off
  3. Log in to the warm standby system from the command line as either the root user or as a user with sudo permissions.
  4. On the warm standby system, run the following command to turn off warm standby. This command also disables the cron jobs for warm standby.
    phenv python /<PHANTOM_HOME>/bin/setup_warm_standby.pyc --standby-mode --off
  5. Continuing on the warm standby system, run the following command to stop all services.
    /<PHANTOM_HOME>/bin/stop_phantom.sh

Warm standby is now disabled, and cron jobs are removed to prevent rsync jobs from running.
