6.5 HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference Guide

ibrix_fm
Controls an agile Fusion Manager configuration.
Description
Typically, the Fusion Manager is installed on all file serving nodes when the cluster is installed.
The Fusion Manager is active on one node and passive on the other nodes. This is called an agile
Fusion Manager configuration.
An agile Fusion Manager can be in one of the following modes:
• active. In this mode, the Fusion Manager controls console operations. All cluster administration
and configuration commands must be run from the active Fusion Manager.
• passive. In this mode, the Fusion Manager monitors the health of the active Fusion Manager.
If the active Fusion Manager fails, StoreAll software selects one of the passive management
consoles to become the active console.
• nofmfailover. In this mode, the Fusion Manager does not participate in console operations.
This mode is intended for operations such as manual failover of the Fusion Manager, StoreAll
software upgrades, and blade replacements.
Synopsis
Set the mode for a Fusion Manager:
ibrix_fm -m passive | nofmfailover [-P] [-A | -h <FMLIST>]
Sets the mode to passive or nofmfailover on a Fusion Manager instance running on the local host.
With the exception of the local node running the active Fusion Manager, the -A option sets all
instances of the Fusion Manager to the specified mode, and the -h option sets the Fusion Manager
instances mentioned in <FMLIST> to the specified mode.
The -P option is primarily used during a manual upgrade to prevent nonupgraded Fusion Managers
from taking information from a new Fusion Manager. It can be used three ways:
• The nofmfailover mode is set on the current node:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -P
• The nofmfailover mode is set on a specific set of nodes:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -h [comma_separated_host_list] -P
• The nofmfailover mode is set to all nodes in the cluster, except on the current node, which is
usually the Active Fusion Manager:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -P -A
Run an immediate backup of the Fusion Manager 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 Fusion Manager 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 Fusion Manager and its IP address/hostname with the active Fusion Manager:
ibrix_fm -R <management_console name> -I <IP address> -a <cluster VIF
address>
