Performs troubleshooting and maintenance operations on the Pilots.
SYNOPSIS
pilot { [ ‑beacon | ‑forceFailover | ‑list | ‑sendInfoToSan | ‑serverHealthCheck | ‑shutdown ] | [ ‑usage | ‑help ] }
DESCRIPTION
When troubleshooting or maintaining an
Oracle FS System,
Oracle Customer Support might require that you issue one or more
pilot commands. Except for the
pilot ‑beacon command and the
pilot ‑shutdown command, the
pilot commands are not directed to a specific
Pilot. Instead, the system automatically directs the
pilot command to the active
Pilot.
Note: The standby
Pilot becomes the active
Pilot in the following situations:
Oracle Customer Support might instruct you to run a pilot ‑list command to identify the active or standby Pilot. If the IP addresses for the Pilots are required, Oracle Customer Support might request that you issue a system ‑list ‑details command.
The Pilot provides an interface for the fspm client, the fscli client, and the client for the Oracle FS System Manager to communicate with the Oracle FS System through port 26012. Within the Oracle FS System, port 26012 is enabled by default and must remain open.
