2 haFailover haFailover Forces the failover mechanism so that the standby control processor (CP) becomes the active CP. Synopsis hafailover Description Use this command to force the failover mechanism to occur so that the standby CP becomes the active CP. In case the active and standby CPs are not synchronized or the system is not in redundant mode, the command aborts. When High Availability (HA) synchronization is enabled and the CPs are in sync, the port traffic light does not flash during the failover, even while traffic is continuing to flow. In an Admin Domain-aware environment, this command is allowed only if the local switch is a member of the current Admin Domain. This command is supported only on systems with dual -CP cards. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands none Examples To force the failover of the active CP to the standby CP in the switch: switch:admin> hafailover Local CP (Slot 6, CP1): Active, Cold Recovered Remote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Standby, Healthy HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized Warning: This command is being run on a redundant control processor(CP) system, and this operation will cause the active CP to reset. Therefore all existing telnet sessions are required to be restarted. Are you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP [y/n]?
