HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
Places “this controller” and the “other controller” into multiple-bus failover mode.
Failover is a process that allows a controller to take over total control of the storage
subsystem in the event of the failure of its companion controller.
IMPORTANT: Remove all connections that appear using the SHOW CONNECTIONS
command prior to establishing multibus failover mode.
NOTE: Before putting the controllers in MULTIBUS_FAILOVER mode, remove any previous
transparent failover mode with the SET NOFAILOVER command.
Syntax
SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER COPY=controller
Parameters
There are no parameters for this command.
Switches
COPY=controller
Identifies which controller contains the source configuration. You must specify
THIS_CONTROLLER (the one connected to the CLI maintenance terminal) or
OTHER_CONTROLLER. The companion controller receives the configuration
information and restarts.
CAUTION: Make sure you know which controller has the good configuration
information before entering this command. The device configuration information from
the controller specified by the
controller
parameter overwrites the information on the
companion controller.
•
Specify THIS_CONTROLLER to copy the device configuration information
from the “this controller” to “other controller.”
•
Specify OTHER_CONTROLLER to copy the device configuration
information from the “other controller” to “this controller.”
Due to the amount of information being passed from one controller to the other,
this command may take up to two minutes to complete.
