Viewing Failover Packages

Note

This section applies only if you have purchased a high-

availability NAS solution.

All storage is controlled by packages. Packages are the smallest units of

failover in the cluster. In other words, if a package resource (storage or

network) fails, the package will be failed over to another node. Each package

and its associated resources are monitored independently. This allows failures

that are limited to a single package to be handled without affecting the state

of other packages.
To view failover packages:

1

I

n the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.

2

Navigate down the tree and select Failover Packages.

A table displays the following information for every failover package:

Column

Description

Package Name

A string of 40 characters that cannot include spaces, forward slash (/),

backslashes (\), or asterisks (*). Identifies the package when you view its

status or operate or modify it.

Package Status

D

isplays whether the package is starting, has stopped, has failed over, or is

inactive.

Failback Policy

The Failback Policy is used when the package is not running on its primary

server even though the primary server is capable of running the package.

If you set the Failback Policy to Automatic, the package will always

attempt to move back to the primary server.

If you set the Failback Policy to Manual (default), the package will not

change servers until you manually fail it back.

Auto Start

Enabled or disabled. If Auto Start is enabled, the package automatically

starts once the server is running on the cluster.
