HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
The SET NOFAILOVER and SET NOMULTIBUS_FAILOVER commands remove
“this controller” and the “other controller” (if currently reachable) from failover mode.
Either command can be used to cancel failover, as they both perform exactly the same
actions.
The controller on which the command was entered is always removed from the
dual-redundant mode, even if the second controller is not currently reachable. No
configuration information is lost. All units that were accessed through the “other
controller” fail over to “this controller,” and the “other controller” is shut down.
IMPORTANT: Immediately after entering this command, one controller should be physically
removed because the sharing of devices is not supported by single controller configurations.
It is recommended that both controllers be present when this command is carried out.
Otherwise, the controllers become misconfigured with each other, requiring additional steps
later to allow the “other controller” to be configured for failover.
The SET NOFAILOVER and SET NOMULTIBUS_FAILOVER commands affect
both controllers, regardless of the controller on which the command is carried out.
Syntax
SET NOFAILOVER
or
SET NOMULTIBUS_FAILOVER
Parameters
There are no parameters associated with this command.
Switches
DESTROY_UNFLUSHABLE_DATA
NODESTROY_UNFLUSHABLE_DATA (default)
Instructs the controller how to handle data contained within write-back cache.
These switches have no effect if both controllers are operational. Select one of
these switches to indicate how the controller is to handle data contained in cache if
one of the controllers fails before it can properly shut down with the SET
NOFAILOVER, SET NOMULTIBUS FAILOVER, or SHUTDOWN commands.
SET NOFAILOVER
SET NOMULTIBUS_FAILOVER
