6.0 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software CLI Reference (TA768-96040, October 2011)

ibrix_fm
Controls an agile management console configuration.
Description
Typically, the management console is installed on all file serving nodes when the cluster is installed.
The management console is active on one node and passive on the other nodes. This is called an
agile management console configuration.
An agile management console can be in one of the following modes:
• active. In this mode, the management console controls console operations. All cluster
administration and configuration commands must be run from the active management console.
• passive. In this mode, the management console monitors the health of the active management
console. If the active management console fails, X9000 Software selects one of the passive
management consoles to become the active console.
• maintenance. In this mode, the management console does not participate in console operations.
This mode is intended for operations such as manual failover of the management console,
X9000 Software upgrades, and blade replacements.
Synopsis
Set the mode for a management console:
ibrix_fm -m passive | maintenance [-A | -h <FMLIST>]
Moves a management console to passive or maintenance mode. If the management console was
previously the active console, X9000 Software will select a new active console. A management
console currently in active mode can be moved to either passive or maintenance mode. A
management console in maintenance mode can be moved only to passive mode.
With the exception of the local node running the active management console, the -A option moves
all instances of the management console to the specified mode. The -h option moves the
management console instances in <FMLIST> to the specified mode.
Run an immediate backup of the management console configuration:
ibrix_fm -B
By default, the command saves the backup archive at
<installdirectory>/tmp/fmbackup.zip. The existing fmbackup.zip file is overwritten.
Add virtual interface information to the management console configuration:
ibrix_fm -c <VIF IP address> –d <VIF device> –n <VIF netmask> –v <VIF
type> [–I <local IP address>]
The <VIF type> is either cluster or user.
Register a management console and its IP address/hostname with the active management console:
ibrix_fm –R <management_console name> –I <IP address> —a <cluster VIF
address>
Unregister a management console that has been uninstalled:
ibrix_fm -u <management_console_name>
Display mode information about the management consoles in the cluster:
ibrix_fm -i
NOTE: If the management console was not installed in an agile configuration, the output will
report FusionServer: fusion manager name not set! (active, quorum is not
configured).
