Completing HA Failover
After the storage asset that holds the /var/opt/sun/xvm directory structure has been transferred to the secondary Enterprise Controller, you must run the harestore program, reboot the secondary Enterprise Controller, and start Sun xVM Ops Center services.
After you complete the HA failover procedure, the secondary Enterprise Controller is listed in the Gear panel as controller_0, where controller is the host name of the primary Enterprise Controller.
 | Caution – The following example procedures are based on the example Solaris OS-based storage solution that is described in Configuring Storage for High Availability. You must determine what specific procedures to use, depending on the storage solution that you have implemented. |
To Run the harestore Program
Run the harestore program to restore Sun xVM Ops Center configuration from the primary Enterprise Controller onto the secondary Enterprise Controller.
The harestore program is located in the /opt/sun/xvm/bin/ directory. For example:
# /opt/sun/xvm/bin/harestore
./osp/clientPkgs/Sun_Microsystems,_Inc.-allstart-3.3-1/base-mgmt-allstart-1.0-15.noarch.rpm: No mapping for uid 63333
Restore complete. You need to reboot now.
#
To Reboot the Secondary Enterprise Controller and Start Services
After you run the harestore program, you must reboot the secondary Enterprise Controller and start Sun xVM Ops Center services on that system.
- Reboot the operating system on the secondary Enterprise Controller.
For example, on Solaris systems, you can use the init 6 command to reboot the system:# init 6
- Use the satadm command to start Sun xVM Ops Center Enterprise Controller services.
- Solaris OS: Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/satadm command.
- RHEL OS: Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/satadm command.
For example:# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/satadm start -w satadm: Starting satellite with SMF... satadm: Satellite services have started #
- If the configuration from the primary Enterprise Controler included an enabled co-located Proxy Controller, use the proxyadm command to start Sun xVM Ops Center Proxy Controller services.
- Solaris OS: Use the /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm command.
- RHEL OS: Use the /opt/sun/xvmoc/bin/proxyadm command.
For example:# /opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin/proxyadm start -w proxyadm: Starting proxy with SMF... proxyadm: Proxy services have started #
