Testing failover and failback of the agile management console
Complete the following steps:
1. On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode. This step fails over the active management console role to the node
currently hosting the passive agile management console.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m maintenance
2. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following
command on the node that was hosting the passive agile management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
3. From the node on which you failed over the active management console in step 1, change
the status of the management console from maintenance to passive:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
4. Verify that the fusion manager database /usr/local/ibrix/.db/ is intact on both active
and passive management console nodes.
5. Repeat steps 1–4 to return the node originally hosting the active management console back
to active mode.
Removing the dedicated Management Server
This procedure removes the dedicated Management Server machine from the cluster and installs
another instance of the agile management console on a second file serving node.
Complete the following steps:
1. On the Management Server machine, place the agile management console into maintenance
mode:
ibrix_fm -m maintenance
2. Verify that the management console is in maintenance mode:
ibrix_fm –i
For example:
[root@x109s1 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -i
FusionServer: x109s1 (maintenance, quorum not started)
==================================
Command succeeded!
Verify that the passive management console has become the active management console. Run
the ibrix_fm -i command on the file serving node hosting the passive management
console (x109s3 in this example). It may take up to two minutes for the passive management
console to become active.
For example:
[root@x109s3 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -i
FusionServer: x109s3 (active, quorum is running)
=============================
Command succeeded!
At this point, the ibrix_fm -f command reports two agile management consoles, the passive
console on the Management Server (x109s1) and the active console on the file serving node
(x109s3).
[root@x109s3 ibrix]# ibrix_fm -f
