Perform a Controller Failover Test

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 fibre 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:
