Bring a Controller Online Using the ILOM

You can use the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to bring a Controller online after testing the failover process works smoothly.

  1. From the Pilot, connect to the alternate or buddy Controller using secure shell (SSH).
  2. Identify the alternate Controller by running the following command from the Pilot:
    cat /etc/nodenames
  3. On the alternate Controller, run the following command:
    ipmitool -H 169.254.2.9 -U root -P changeme chassis power on
    This brings the failed Controller online.
  4. Monitor the Oracle FS System Manager to verify that the Controller is back online under: System > Alerts and Events > Status Summary
  5. Clear the failure history by logging in to the Oracle FS System using the primary administrator account and running the following command:
    ./fscli controller -reenable -controller [controller_name]
    Command Succeeded
