High Availability overview 3 Synchronizing Services on the CP A nondisruptive CP failover is only possible when all the services are synchronized between both CPs. 1. Open the High Availability window as described in "Launching the High Availability Window" on page 53. 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.
