hardware enable failover
NOTE: This information applies to multi-node products.
Description of Command Function
Enables the failover feature between nodes which had been disabled using the hardware
disable failover command (see “hardware disable failover” (page 65)).
Command Syntax
hardware enable 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)). If the file server
node is defined, failover is only enabled 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.
