Thread: How to avoid stopping the failover when adding a new failover task?

  1. #1

    Default How to avoid stopping the failover when adding a new failover task?

    Currently, I have two SAN servers in cluster with failover with multipath setup. In the initial setup, I only have one failover task running. When the failover service is running, I can't add another failover task. Is stopping failover service the only way before I can add new failover task?

    If I stop the failover service, both virtual IPs will be inaccessible as well, then the hypervisor will lose connections to the SAN cluster. Any advice how to avoid service interruption when adding a new failover task? Thanks.

    submit a support ticket, and I can give you a small update to make this work.
    also make sure you are on the most current version of DSS V6

    Hi there!

    @cloudtech: Did you test it? Any succes / advise?

    @Gr-R: Is the update available at kb-open-e? Do I have to submit a ticket to get it as well.
    We are testeing with a set of up90 storages right now.
    We are planning to update our other storages to up90 as well asap.
    So the version should be runnung for up90.

    Will the functionality be available in the standard soon?

    Thanks

    Sorry for late reply. I haven't had a chance to test it since I could not apply the patch to existing build b5794 or upgrade to the latest build . Gr-R suggest me to re-install the DSS software, but I haven't had a time to do it.
