Azure service Bus geo-recovery automation using az bash commands

[vivuu1989]

In MS docs for AzureCLI, we couldn't find, az command to do perform the Switchover activity from our primary Service Bus to the Secondary Service Bus.

We are performing, below activities as part of the switchover and couldn't find the required AZ commands to fulfill our requirements.

Task 1. Re-initiate the Pairing with secondary namespace (for which the alias already present, for which we already have the alias created). Here we cold find only to create a new paring , but not with existing.

az servicebus georecovery-alias create --alias <prim-second-existing alias-name> --namespace-name <primary-sb-namespace-name> --partner-namespace <secondary-sb-namespace-name>  --resource-group <primary-sb-namespace-RGName>

Perform Failover:-

az servicebus georecovery-alias fail-over <prim-second-existing alias-name> --ids <secondary-sb-namespace-name>  --is-safe-failover y -namespace-name <primary-sb-namespace-name> --resource-group <primary-sb-namespace-RGName>

task3:- Once Failover done, Delete Ques and topics from the Primary-SB-instance Namespace. Here how to find the pending ques and topics in the primary instance to set it for deletion

    az servicebus topic delete --ids pending-TopicIds --name yyyy --namespace-name <primary-sb-namespace-name> --resource-group <primary-sb-namespace-RGName> --subscription ssssss

For ques

    az servicebus queue delete --ids pending-queids --name que-name --namespace-name <primary-sb-namespace-name> --resource-group <primary-sb-namespace-RGName> --subscription ssssssss

All the az commands can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/servicebus?view=azure-cli-latest. In short, if you want to do a failover and set up GeoDR again, you would follow the following steps:

• Failover: az servicebus georecovery-alias fail-over
• Remove the existing pairing: az servicebus georecovery-alias delete
• Get the existing entities on the old primary: az servicebus queue list / az servicebus topic list
• Delete old instances: az servicebus queue delete / az servicebus topic delete
• Recreate pairing: az servicebus georecovery-alias create

That said, we are working on a new GeoDR feature, which will make this process easier.
