The following operands are supported:

action

The following are valid actions:

force

Forces a failover to the spare SC. The spare SC must be available.

off

Disables the failover mechanism. This prevents a failover until the mechanism is reenabled.

on

Enables failover for systems that previously had failover disabled due to a failover or an operator request. on instructs the command to attempt to reenable failover only. If failover cannot be reenabled, subsequent use of the showfailover command indicates the current failure that prevented the enable.
