Recovery
In a DR configuration, manual recovery is required in the event of leader node failure.
If, after reading these instructions you're unsure about how to recover your Seq instance, please reach out to

for help 🙂
1. Identify which node is to become the new leader
If the leader node catastrophically fails or is otherwise lost, the follower node can be promoted to become the new leader.
2. Promote the new leader
Windows: At an administrative shell prompt, promote the old follower to become the new leader by running:
seq node lead
seq service restart
Docker: In an init script run:
#!/bin/bash
seqsvr node lead
After the init script is run, the server process will start automatically.
Once a follower has been promoted this way, the old (failed) leader, if recoverable, should not be restarted until the
seq node follow
command has been run on it to set it back into the follower state
