Changing Server Status from Forced Standby

A server placed into forced standby status is not active. You can change the status of a server in a cluster from forced standby. You would do this, for example, to return a server to active status after performing maintenance on it.

When you take a server from forced standby, the server coordinates with the other servers in the cluster to take either the role Standby or Spare.

To take a server from a forced standby status:

  1. From the Platform Setting section of the navigation pane, select Topology Settings.

    The Cluster Configuration page opens; the initial group is All Clusters.

  2. From the content tree, select All Clusters.

    The Cluster Configuration page opens.

  3. Click View for the cluster you want to change.

    The Topology Configuration page opens, displaying information about the cluster.

  4. Click Modify Server-A or Modify Server-B (whichever server needs the status change).
  5. Deselect Forced Standby.
  6. Click Save.
The server status is changed from forced standby.
