HP StoreOnce Backup System CLI Reference Guide

hardware disable failover
NOTE: This information applies to multi-node products.
Description of Command Function
Disables the failover feature between nodes which is automatically configured during the initial
automatic configuration of the StoreOnce appliance. HP recommends disabling failover before
rebooting the StoreOnce appliance.
Command Syntax
hardware disable failover [NODEX]
Command Authority
Administrator
Command Object Requirements
NODE X – As an option, this object can be used to define an individual file server node. X is a
unique numeric index. NODEX is a label uniquely defining the hardware component. It is assigned
during the initial automatic hardware initialization and configuration, and its value resides in the
node_config file. A complete list of the NODEX labels can be obtained using the hardware
show node status command (see “hardware show node status” (page 80)); you will also find
the status of the failover, noted within the HA column of the output. If a file server node is defined,
failover is only disabled for that node. This command should be run for both nodes within the
couplet pair (i.e., 1 and 2; 3 and 4; 5 and 6; 7 and 8) and should not be run for an individual
node on its own.
