NAME

setfailover - modify the state of the system controller (SC) failover mechanism

setfailover on

setfailover off

setfailover force

setfailover -h

setfailover(1M) provides the ability to modify the state of failover for the SC failover mechanisms.

The following options are supported.

force: Forces a failover to the spare SC. The spare SC must be available.
-h: Help. Displays usage descriptions. Note – Use alone. Any option specified in addition to -h is ignored.
off: Disables the failover mechanism. This will prevent a failover until the mechanism is re-enabled.
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 re-enable failover only. If failover cannot be re-enabled, subsequent use of the showfailover command indicates the current failure that prevented the enable.

You must have platform administrator privileges to run this command.
