Removing The Dedicated Management Server - HP IBRIX 9300 Administrator's Manual

1. On the node hosting the active Fusion Manager, place the Fusion Manager into maintenance
mode. This step fails over the active Fusion Manager role to the node currently hosting the
passive agile Fusion Manager.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m nofmfailover
2. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following
command on the node that was hosting the passive agile Fusion Manager:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile Fusion Manager is now Active on this node.
3. From the node on which you failed over the active Fusion Manager in step 1, change the
status of the Fusion Manager from maintenance to passive:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
4. Verify that the fusion manager database /usr/local/ibrix/.db/ is intact on both active
and passive Fusion Manager nodes.
5. Repeat steps 1–4 to return the node originally hosting the active Fusion Manager back to
active mode.

Removing the dedicated Management Server

This procedure removes the dedicated Management Server machine from the cluster and installs
another instance of the agile management console on a second file serving node.
Complete the following steps:
1. On the Management Server machine, place the agile management console into maintenance
mode:
ibrix_fm -m maintenance
2. Verify that the management console is in maintenance mode:
ibrix_fm –i
For example:
[root@x109s1 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -i
FusionServer: x109s1 (maintenance, quorum not started)
==================================
Command succeeded!
Verify that the passive management console has become the active management console. Run
the ibrix_fm -i command on the file serving node hosting the passive management
console (x109s3 in this example). It may take up to two minutes for the passive management
console to become active.
For example:
[root@x109s3 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -i
FusionServer: x109s3 (active, quorum is running)
=============================
Command succeeded!
At this point, the ibrix_fm -f command reports two agile management consoles, the passive
console on the Management Server (x109s1) and the active console on the file serving node
(x109s3).
[root@x109s3 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -f
