Verify that the Controller failover functionality is operational prior to approving the Oracle FS System for production. Controller failover is performed by the installation engineer or the customer.
Prerequisites:
- SAN hosts with multipath Fiber Channel (FC) connectivity to the Oracle FS System.
- SAN hosts zoned to communicate with the Oracle FS System.
- SAN hosts with a supported operating system (OS) to enable the use of an Iometer, which is a free utility to generate IOPs on the Oracle FS System.
- PuTTY or similar terminal emulation program.
- Client workstation with connectivity to the Oracle FS System Manager
- A LUN created on Controller-01.
- A LUN created on Controller-02.
- Both the newly created LUNs on the Controllers must be mapped to the SAN hosts on which the Iometer is used.
Note: While the I/O is performed on both Controller, monitor the IOPs using the Iometer interface and the Oracle FS System Manager.
You can failover a
Controller using one of the following methods:
