High Availability overview 3 Admin Domain considerations To open the High Availability window, the switch must be a member of the Admin Domain you are currently logged in to. If the switch is not a member of the current Admin Domain, the Synchronized Services and Initiate Failover buttons are unavailable. Synchronizing Services on the CP A nondisruptive CP failover is only possible when all the services are synchronized between both CPs. Use the following procedure to synchronize services on the CP. 1. Open the High Availability window as described in "Launching the High Availability window" on page 55. 2. Verify that HA Summary field displays Non-Disruptive Failover Ready. If the HA Status field displays Non-Disruptive Failover Ready, you are finished. If the HA Status field displays Disruptive Failover Ready, continue with step 3. 3. Click Synchronize Services. The Warning dialog box displays. 4. Click Yes and wait for the CPs to complete a synchronization of services, so that a nondisruptive failover is ready. 5. Click Refresh to update the HA Status field. When the HA Status field displays Non-Disruptive Failover Ready, a failover can be initiated without disrupting frame traffic on the fabric. Initiating a CP Failover A nondisruptive failover might take about 30 seconds to complete. During the failover, all of the Web Tools windows and all associated child-windows are invalidated. You must close all Web Tools windows and open Web Tools again. Use the following procedure to initiate a nondisruptive failover. 1. Open the High Availability window as described in "Launching the High Availability window" on page 55. 2. Verify that the HA Status field displays Non-Disruptive Failover Ready or Disruptive Failover Ready. 3. Click Initiate Failover. The Warning dialog box displays. 4. Click Yes to initiate a nondisruptive failover. 5. When prompted, close the Web Tools Switch Explorer window and all associated windows, and re-open Web Tools.

High Availability overview

Admin Domain considerations

To open the

High Availability

window, the switch must be a member of the Admin Domain you are

currently logged in to. If the switch is

not

a member of the current Admin Domain, the

Synchronized

Services

and

Initiate Failover

buttons are unavailable.

Synchronizing Services on the CP

A nondisruptive CP failover is only possible when

all

the services are synchronized between both

CPs.

Use the following procedure to synchronize services on the CP.

Open the

High Availability

window as described in

“Launching the High Availability window”

page 55.

Verify that

HA Summary

field displays Non-Disruptive Failover Ready.

If the

HA Status

field displays

Non-Disruptive Failover Ready

, you are finished.

If the

HA Status

field displays

Disruptive Failover Ready

, continue with step 3.

Click

Synchronize Services

The

Warning

dialog box displays.

Click

Yes

and wait for the CPs to complete a synchronization of services, so that a

nondisruptive failover is ready.

Click

Refresh

to update the

HA Status

field.

When the

HA Status

field displays

Non-Disruptive Failover Ready

, a failover can be initiated

without disrupting frame traffic on the fabric.

Initiating a CP Failover

A nondisruptive failover might take about 30 seconds to complete. During the failover, all of the

Web Tools windows and all associated child-windows are invalidated. You must close all Web Tools

windows and open Web Tools again.

Use the following procedure to initiate a nondisruptive failover.

Open the

High Availability

window as described in

“Launching the High Availability window”

page 55.

Verify that the

HA Status

field displays

Non-Disruptive Failover Ready

Disruptive Failover

Ready

Click

Initiate Failover

The

Warning

dialog box displays.

Click

Yes

to initiate a nondisruptive failover.

When prompted, close the Web Tools Switch Explorer window and all associated windows, and

re-open Web Tools.
