5–118CLI Commands

SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER

Places “this controller” and the “other controller” into a dual-redundant (failover) configuration within a multiple-bus environment. This allows both controllers to access the storage devices and provide greater throughput. If one controller fails, the devices and cache attached to the failed controller become available to and accessible through the remaining controller. Both controllers must be configured for nofailover before you enter the SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER command.

NOTE: Partitioned storagesets and partitioned single-disk units cannot function in multiple bus failover dual-redundant configurations. Because they are not supported, you must delete your partitions before configuring the controllers for multiple bus failover.

Syntax

SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER COPY=controller

Parameters

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 the “this controller” to “other controller.”

Specify OTHER_CONTROLLER to copy the device configuration information from the “other controller” to “this controller.”
