created by Surendhar on Sep 15, 2010 9:08 AM, last modified by 3CsForumModerator on Sep 15, 2010 11:06 AM Product: Celerra Description: How to perform Data Mover failover and failback Resolution:

Version 2

Standby should be configured for the Data Mover to perform the failover and failback the Data Mover and can be verified using the nas_server command Failover and failback performed using the server_standby command. Examples:
$n a s _ s e r v e ri n f os e r v e r _ 2 i d=1 n a m e=s e r v e r _ 2 a c l=1 0 0 0 ,o w n e r = n a s a d m i n , t y p e=n a s s l o t=2 m e m b e r _ o f= s t a n d b y=s e r v e r _ 5 ,p o l i c y = a u t o s t a t u s: d e f i n e d=e n a b l e d a c t u a l=o n l i n e ,r e a d y

The command output indicates that server_2 has local standby Data Mover server_5 configured. To activate the server_3 (standby) to take over for server_2 (primary), type:
$ server_standby server_2 -activate m over server_2 : server_2 : going offline server_3 : going active replace in progress ...done failover activity complete commit in progress (not interruptible)...done server_2 : renamed as server_2.faulted.server_3 server_3 : renamed as server_2

To restore server_3 as the standby Data Mover and server_2.faulted.server_3 as the primary, type:
$s e r v e r _ s t a n d b ys e r v e r _ 2r e s t o r em o v e r s e r v e r _ 2: s e r v e r _ 2:g o i n gs t a n d b y s e r v e r _ 2 . f a u l t e d . s e r v e r _ 3:g o i n ga c t i v e r e p l a c ei np r o g r e s s. . . d o n e f a i l o v e ra c t i v i t yc o m p l e t e c o m m i ti np r o g r e s s( n o ti n t e r r u p t i b l e ) . . . d o n e s e r v e r _ 2:r e n a m e da ss e r v e r _ 3 s e r v e r _ 2 . f a u l t e d . s e r v e r _ 3:r e n a m e da ss e r v e r _ 2
