SET Failover, 110CLI Commands | Compaq HSZ80 instruction

5–110CLI Commands

SET FAILOVER

Configures both controllers to operate in a dual-redundant, transparent failover, configuration. This allows both controllers to access the storage devices, providing controller fault-tolerant data processing. If one of the two controllers fails, the devices and any cache attached to the failed controller become available to and accessible through the other controller.

NOTE: The controllers must be present and placed in non-failover mode by entering the SET NOFAILOVER command before they can be set to failover mode.

Syntax

SET FAILOVER COPY=controller

Parameters

THIS_CONTROLLER

OTHER_CONTROLLER

Specifies which controller contains the source configuration for the copy. The companion controller receiving the configuration information restarts after the command is carried out.

CAUTION: Make sure you know which controller has the good configu- ration information before entering this command. The device configura- tion 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 “this controller” to “other controller.”

Specify OTHER_CONTROLLER to copy the device configuration information from “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 one minute to complete.
