For Internal Use Only

To Failback the Virtualization Engine

In the event of a Sun StorEdge T3+ array LUN failover, use the following procedure
to fail the LUN back to its original controller.

1. From the Storage Service Processor, type:

where:

The failback command will always be performed on the controller serial number,
regardless by which controller the LUN actually is currently owned (the Master or
Alt-Master). All VLUNS are affected by a failover and failback of the underlying
physical LUN.

The controller serial number is the system WWN for the Sun StorEdge T3+ array. In
the above example, the master Sun StorEdge T3+ array WWN is

50020F2300006DFA

, and the number used in the failback command is

60020F2000006DFA

.

2. The SLIC daemon must be running for the

mpdrive failback

command to

work. Ensure that the

SLIC

daemon is running by using the command found in

CODE EXAMPLE 7-3

.

If no

SLIC

processes are running, you can start them manually using the

SUNWsecfg

scripts, which are located in the

/opt/SUNWsecfg/bin/startslicd

-n v1

directory.

CODE EXAMPLE 7-3

slicd

Output Example

# /opt/svengine/sduc/mpdrive failback -d v1 -j 60020F2000006DFA

-d

Virtualization engine pair on which to run the command

-j

Controller serial number, which corresponds to the Sun
StorEdge T3+ array WWN of the affected partner pair
