High Availability FailOver/iX Manual (32650-90911)

Configuration

GONEXT (go)

The

GONEXT

command causes the Ldev to switch from the current, “Ready”,

path to the “Validated” path according to the HAFOCONF file.

The most important use of this command is after the repair of a “failed” primary

path.

GONEXT

switchs the Ldev from using the alternate path back to using the

primary path. GONEXT

can also be used during preventative maintenance

activities to temporarily switch from the primary path to the alternate path. This

command is fully documented in Chapter 6, "Recovering From a Failure."

WARNING

HAFO protection is only available on the primary path! Use the

GONEXT

command to switch to the alternate path with caution. You should never

intentionally run your system using the alternate path for extended periods of

time.

WARNING

GONEXT

should NOT be used to “force” HAFO to use a known bad path for any

reason. Attempts to force usage of a “broken” path may result in the need to do a

full System Reboot to reinitialize the MPE/iX I/O configuration.
