ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
114
configure node priority
configure node slot <slot_id> priority <node_pri>
Description
Configures the priority of the node.
Syntax Description
Default
Default node priority is 0.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the priority of the node. The lower the number, the higher the priority.
The node priority is part of the selection criteria for the master node. The following list describes the
parameters used to determine the master node:
●
Node state—The node state must be STANDBY to participate in leader election and to be selected
master. If the node is in the INIT, DOWN, or FAIL states, the node will not participate in leader
election.
●
Configuration priority—This is a user assigned priority. The configured priority is compared only
after the node meets the minimum thresholds in each category for it to be healthy. Required
processes and devices must not fail.
●
Software health—This represents the percent of processes available.
●
Health of secondary hardware components—This represents the health of switch components, such
as the power supplies, fans, and so forth.
●
Slot ID—The MSM slot where the node is installed (MSM-A or MSM-B).
If you do not configure any priorities, MSM-A has a higher priority than MSM-B.
Example
The following command configures a priority of 2 for MSM-B:
configure node slot B priority 2
slot_id
Specifies the slot of the node. A is for the MSM installed in slot A. B is for the
MSM installed in slot B.
node_pri
Specifies the priority of the node. The default 0 gives MSM-A a higher priority
over MSM-B. The range is 1 to 100; 0 means you have not configured a node
priority.
