Stage 6: Checking and testing cluster configuration

Check the cabling on the cluster interconnect cables to make sure that they are secure.

Verify that you can create and retrieve files on both nodes for each licensed protocol.

Enter the following command from the local node console:

cf takeover

Result

The local node takes over the partner node and gives the following output:

takeover completed

Test communication between the local node and partner node.

For example, you can use the fcstat device_map command to ensure that one node can access the other node's disks.

Example:

filer-1> fcstat device_map

Give back the partner node by entering the following command:

cf giveback

Result

The local node releases the partner node, which reboots and resumes normal operation. The following message is displayed on the console when the process is complete:

giveback completed

If takeover and giveback...

Then...

Is completed successfully

Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 on the partner node.

Fails

Go to Correcting takeover or giveback failures.
