Checking the High Availability configuration

Use the ibrix_haconfig command to determine whether High Availability features have been
configured for specific file serving nodes. The command checks for the following features and
provides either a summary or a detailed report of the results:
Programmable power source
Standby server or standby segments
Cluster and user network interface monitors
Standby network interface for each user network interface
HBA port monitoring
Whether automated failover is on
For each High Availability feature, the summary report returns one of the following results for each
tested file serving node and optionally for their standbys:
Passed. The feature has been configured.
Warning. The feature has not been configured, but the significance of the finding is not clear.
For example, the absence of discovered HBAs can indicate either that the HBA monitoring
feature was not configured or that HBAs are not physically present on the tested servers.
Failed. The feature has not been configured.
The detailed report includes an overall result status for all tested file serving nodes and describes
details about the checks performed on each High Availability feature. By default, the report includes
details only about checks that received a Failed or a Warning result. You can expand the report
to include details about checks that received a Passed result.
Viewing a summary report
Executing the ibrix_haconfig command with no arguments returns a summary of all file serving
nodes. To check specific file serving nodes, include the -h HOSTLIST argument. To check standbys,
include the -b argument. To view results only for file serving nodes that failed a check, include
the -f argument.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_haconfig -l [-h HOSTLIST] [-f] [-b]
For example, to view a summary report for file serving nodes xs01.hp.com and xs02.hp.com:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_haconfig -l -h xs01.hp.com,xs02.hp.com

Viewing a detailed report
Execute the ibrix_haconfig -i command to view the detailed report:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_haconfig -i [-h HOSTLIST] [-f] [-b] [-s] [-v]
