    Type /etc/init.d/n1spsagent restart to restart the remote agent. If the remote agent is not restarted, then the service provisioning service on the first OTP host will not work properly.

  7. Configure and enable fail-over.

    1. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -g otp-system-rg -y RG_system=false to set the system property for the otp-system-rg resource group to false.

    2. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -F -g otp-system-rg to take the remote group offline.

    3. Type the following commands in the sequence shown to disable cluster resources.

      /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j otp-spsms-rs

      /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j otp-spsra-rs

      /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j otp-sps-hastorage-plus

      /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -n -j otp-lhn

    4. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -u -g otp-system-rg to put the remote group into the unmanaged state.

    5. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -j otp-spsra-rs -x Stop_signal="15" to change the Stop_signal property of the remote agent resource to 15.

    6. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -j otp-spsms-rs -x Stop_signal="15" to change the Stop_signal property of the management service resource to 15.

    7. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -o -g otp-system-rg to put the remote group into the managed state.

    8. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scswitch -Z -g otp-system-rg to bring the remote group back online.

    9. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm -c -g otp-system-rg -y RG_system=true to set the system property for the otp-system-rg resource group to true.
