After an SSP Failover

After an SSP failover occurs, you must perform certain recovery tasks:

• Identify the failure point or condition that caused the failover and determine how to correct the failure.

  Depending on the failover condition, note that a failover is either initiated or disabled. To identify the failure point, use the showfailover(1M) command to review the failover state and connection status. Review the connection map in the showfailover output and the summary of the failover detection points in Chapter 10, SSP Internals .

  You can also review the platform log file to review other error conditions and determine the corrective action needed to reactivate the failed components.

• After resolving the problem, re-enable SSP failover using the setfailover(1M) command (see "To Enable SSP Failover").

• Rerun any SSP commands that were interrupted by a failover, with the exception of the DR commands addboard(1M), deleteboard(1M), and moveboard(1M), which are automatically resumed on the new main SSP.
