Complete the Installation
Perform a Controller Failover Test
Verify that the Controller failover functionality is operational prior to approving
the Oracle FS System for production. Controller failover is performed by the
installation engineer or the customer.
Prerequisites:
SAN hosts with multipath Fiber Channel (FC) connectivity to the Oracle FS
System.
SAN hosts zoned to communicate with the Oracle FS System.
SAN hosts with a supported operating system (OS) to enable the use of an
Iometer, which is a free utility to generate IOPs on the Oracle FS System.
PuTTY or similar terminal emulation program.
Client workstation with connectivity to the Oracle FS System Manager
A LUN created on Controller-01.
A LUN created on Controller-02.
Both the newly created LUNs on the Controllers must be mapped to the SAN
hosts on which the Iometer is used.
Note: While the I/O is performed on both Controller, monitor the IOPs using the
Iometer interface and the Oracle FS System Manager.
You can failover a Controller using one of the following methods:
Command Line Interface (CLI)
•
Controller power button
•
ILOM interface
•
Generate IO on the System
Generate Input Output operations per second (IOPs) on the Oracle FS System
from the SAN host to verify that the Controller failover functionality is
operational.
1
Install the Oracle FS System Manager on the client workstation to ensure
that all prerequisites to verify the Controller failover are met and to ensure
multi-pathing is installed and configured.
2
Using PuTTY or a terminal emulation program, connect the client
workstation to the SAN host.
