Changing the CVM master manually
You can change the CVM master manually from one node in the cluster to another
node, while the cluster is online. CVM migrates the master node, and reconfigures
the cluster.
Symantec recommends that you switch the master when the cluster is not handling
VxVM configuration changes or cluster reconfiguration operations. In most cases,
CVM aborts the operation to change the master, if CVM detects that any
configuration changes are occurring in the VxVM or the cluster. After the master
change operation starts reconfiguring the cluster, other commands that require
configuration changes will fail.
See “Errors during CVM master switching” on page 452.
To change the master online, a cluster protocol version 100 or later is required.
