HP NetServer AA 6200 Solution Release 3.0 Administrator's Guide

Chapter 5 Commands

CE Disable Operation

This command disables (removes) the specified CE from the active server configuration. For

the CE to rejoin the server, you must enable it using the CE Enable Operation command.

Warning: This command does not perform a normal Windows NT

shutdown. As a result, you can lose any data in the Windows NT

disk cache that has not been written to disk. Therefore, if only one

CE is in operation, use a Windows NT Shutdown whenever

possible.

Command CEn Disable Operation From IOPx

Console Syntax

MTCCONS CEn Disable Operation From IOPx -disable_safeguard

Note: The

-disable_safeguard argument is needed only for the last IOP

online or for the CE boot disk if the CE is running.

Variables n – the ID number of the CE (1 or 2)

x – the ID number of the IOP (1 or 2)

Results The CE resets, performs a power-on self test, and reboots. The CE

reinitializes, but cannot boot or synchronize with the server until you issue a

CE Enable Operation command.

To verify that the CE is disabled, on either IOP or the remaining CE, you

can:

• Check the status of the server in the Endurance Manager Main window.

• Issue an IOPn Show Configuration command. If the command was

successful, the specified CE is disabled and any associated components

(such as CEn.MIC) are offline.

• Check the Windows NT Event Viewer for a message that indicates that

CE has been shutdown, disabled, or removed from service.
