CE Disable Operation

This command disables (removes) the specified CE from the active Endurance server

configuration. For the CE to rejoin the Endurance server, you must enable it using the CE

Enable Operation command.

Warning: This command does not perform a normal Windows operating

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

Windows disk cache that has not been written to disk. Therefore,

if only one CE is in operation, use a Windows Shutdown

command instead.

Command CEn Disable Operation From IOPx

Console Syntax

MTCCONS CEn Disable Operation From IOPx -disable_safeguard

Note: The

-disable_safeguard argument is needed only if the CE

specified is the only active CE.

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 Endurance 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 Endurance 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 Event Viewer for a message that indicates that CE

has been shutdown, disabled, or removed from service.
