Turning Automated Failover On And Off; Manually Failing Over A File Serving Node - HP IBRIX X9720 System Administrator Manual

Identifying power sources
All power sources must be identified to the configuration database before they can be used. To
identify an integrated power source, use the following command:
ibrix_powersrc -a -t {ipmi|openipmi|openipmi2|ilo} -h HOSTNAME -I IPADDR -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
For example, to identify an iLO power source at IP address 192.168.3.170 for node ss01:
ibrix_powersrc -a -t ilo -h ss01 -I 192.168.3.170 -u Administrator -p password
Updating the configuration database with power source changes
If you change the IP address or password for a power source, you must update the configuration
database with the changes. To do this, use the following command. The user name and password
options are needed only for remotely managed power sources. Include the -s option to have the
Fusion Manager skip BMC.
ibrix_powersrc -m [-I IPADDR] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD]
The following command changes the IP address for power source ps1:
ibrix_powersrc -m -I 192.168.3.153 -h ps1
Dissociating a file serving node from a power source
You can dissociate a file serving node from an integrated power source by dissociating it from
slot 1 (its default association) on the power source. Use the following command:
ibrix_hostpower -d -s POWERSOURCE -h HOSTNAME
Deleting power sources from the configuration database
To conserve storage, delete power sources that are no longer in use from the configuration database.
If you are deleting multiple power sources, use commas to separate them.
ibrix_powersrc -d -h POWERSRCLIST

Turning automated failover on and off

Automated failover is turned off by default. When automated failover is turned on, the Fusion
Manager starts monitoring heartbeat messages from file serving nodes. You can turn automated
failover on and off for all file serving nodes or for selected nodes.
To turn on automated failover, use the following command:
ibrix_server -m [-h SERVERNAME]
To turn off automated failover, include the -U option:
ibrix_server -m -U [-h SERVERNAME]
To turn automated failover on or off for a single file serving node, include the -h SERVERNAME
option.

Manually failing over a file serving node

To set up a cluster for manual failover, first identify standby pairs for the cluster nodes, as described
in "Configuring standby pairs" (page
Manual failover does not require the use of programmable power supplies. However, if you have
installed and identified power supplies for file serving nodes, you can power down a server before
manually failing it over. You can fail over a file serving node manually, even when automated
failover is turned on.
A file serving node can be failed over from the GUI or the CLI.
Using the CLI:
1. Run ibrix_server -f, specifying the node to be failed over in the HOSTNAME option. If
appropriate, include the -p option to power down the node before segments are migrated:
ibrix_server -f [-p] -h HOSTNAME
