Turn on automated failover:

Changing the HA configuration manually

Update a power source:
If you change the IP address or password for a power source, you must update the configuration
database with the changes. 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
Disassociate a server from a power source:
You can dissociate a file serving node from a 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
Delete a power source:
To conserve storage, delete power sources that are no longer in use. If you are deleting multiple
power sources, use commas to separate them.
ibrix_powersrc -d -h POWERSRCLIST
Delete NIC monitoring:
To delete NIC monitoring, use the following command:
ibrix_nic -m -h MONHOST -D DESTHOST/IFNAME
Delete NIC standbys:
To delete a standby for a NIC, use the following command:
ibrix_nic -b -U HOSTNAME1/IFNAME1
For example, to delete the standby that was assigned to interface eth2 on file serving node
s1.hp.com:
ibrix_nic -b -U s1.hp.com/eth2
Turn off automated failover:
ibrix_server -m -U [-h SERVERNAME]
To specify a single file serving node, include the -h SERVERNAME option.

Failing a server over manually

The server to be failed over must belong to a backup pair. The server can be powered down or
remain up during the procedure. You can perform a manual failover at any time, regardless of
whether automated failover is in effect. Manual failover does not require the use of a programmable
power supply. However, if you have identified a power supply for the server, you can power it
down before the failover.
Use the GUI or the CLI to fail over a file serving node:
On the GUI, select the node on the Servers panel and then click Failover on the Summary
panel.
On the CLI, run ibrix_server -f, specifying the node to be failed over as the HOSTNAME.
If appropriate, include the -p option to power down the node before segments are migrated:
ibrix_server -f [-p] -h HOSTNAME
Check the Summary panel or run the following command to determine whether the failover was
successful:
[-s] -h POWERSRCLIST
