haFailover

Forces the failover mechanism so that the standby control processor (CP) becomes the active CP.
SYNOPSIS
hafailover
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to force the failover mechanism to occur so that the standby CP becomes the active
CP. In case the active and standby CPs are not synchronized or the system is not in redundant mode, the
command aborts.
NOTES
When High Availability (HA) synchronization is enabled and the CPs are in sync, the port traffic light does
not flash during the failover, even while traffic is continuing to flow.
This command is supported only on dual-CP systems.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
