ibrix_server
Performs management and control procedures for file serving nodes.
Description
Use ibrix_server to:
• Identify or delete a standby for a file serving node.
• Manually fail over a file serving node.
• Fail back a file serving node following either automated or manual failover.
• Turn automated failover on or off.
• Prefer or unprefer a user interface for a file serving node. By default, file serving nodes use
the cluster interface.
• Power cycle a host.
• Lists host information, including hostname, name of backup server, operational state, whether
automated failover is turned on, and host ID.
• Delete file serving nodes from the configuration database.
Synopsis
Identify a standby for a file serving node:
ibrix_server -b -h SERVERNAME1,SERVERNAME2
The command assigns file serving node SERVERNAME2 as the standby for file serving node
SERVERNAME1.
Fail over a file serving node to its standby:
ibrix_server -f [-p] [-M] [-N] -h SERVERNAME
Use this command to perform a manual failover. Depending on whether you configured server-level
or segment-level standby for the file serving node, the command migrates either specific segments
or all segments to the standby server.
If the file serving node is connected to a power source that has been identified to the Fusion
Manager, include the -p option to make the file serving node power down before the failover.
The -M option forces segment migration. The -N option skips the health check otherwise performed
in segment migration.
Fail back a file serving node:
ibrix_server -f -U [-p] [-M] [-N] -h SERVERNAME
The -p option forces a power down on the backup server. The -M option forces segment migration.
The -N option skips the health check otherwise performed in segment migration.
Turn automated failover on or off:
ibrix_server -m [-U] [-h SERVERNAME]
The command applies to all file serving nodes or only to file serving node SERVERNAME. To turn
automated failover on, omit the -U option. To turn it off, include the -U option.
Delete the standby for a file serving node:
ibrix_server -b -U -h SERVERNAME
Delete one or more servers from the configuration database:
ibrix_server -d -h SERVERLIST
Prefer a network interface for server traffic:
ibrix_server -n -h SRCSERVER -A DESTHOST/IFNAME
