SET NOFAILOVER
SET NOMULTIBUS_FAILOVER
Under some circumstances, the data in a failed controller’s write-back cache may
not fail over to the operating controller’s write-back cache. For example, cache
data will not failover if the operating controller has a failed cache battery because
of the risk of data loss if the power is interrupted.
•
Specify NODESTROY_UNFLUSHABLE_DATA to leave the unwritten data
intact in the failed controller’s write-back cache. When the failed controller is
replaced and placed into service, the write-back cache data is flushed to the
appropriate devices.
•
Specify DESTROY_UNFLUSHABLE_DATA to reconfigure the operational
controller before replacing the failed controller. The unwritten data of the
failed controller may reference devices not present in the new configuration.
If you do not destroy the old configuration data, it may conflict with the new
configuration and cause the subsystem to behave unpredictably.
CAUTION: Unflushed data cannot be recovered after it is destroyed.
Example
To terminate transparent failover mode between two controllers in a dual-redundant
configuration, enter:
SET NOFAILOVER
