HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2274, November 2012)

Related information
clxevarun expects only the app_name parameter, which
uniquely identifies an application service in the APPLICATION
section of the user configuration file.
•
• To force a DR group failover, use the –forceflag option.
When using clxevarun, the –forceflag option is used
instead of app_name.forceflag, which is only used with
the non-CLI version of P6000 Cluster Extension.
CAUTION: The forceflag option is an emergency switch used
to manually activate your vdisk. If the forceflag option has been
specified, P6000 Cluster Extension will not check any consistency
or concurrency rules before activating the vdisk in the associated
DR group.
Return codes clxevarun exits with one of the following return codes:
OK Application service can be started.0
ERROR_GLOBAL Application service could not start on any node in either
site on either P6000/EVA storage system.
1
ERROR_DC Application service could not start on any node in the local site
on the local P6000/EVA storage system.
2
ERROR_LOCAL Application service could not start on this node.3
