Hi Ian,

 

How can we make standby device of our own choice as Active..??

 

We have 6 devices in cluster and 2 are for our DR purpose.

 

Recently we tested the manual failover process by doing force offline on Next active device as we wanted to make standby device of our own choice as Active.

 

After this step, The device which we wanted to make as active device, came up as Next Active device.

 

So went into the current active device and forced it offline via the “run /sys failover offline” command.

 

We were now waiting for device of our own choice to become active, however it did NOT come to active status and under “Current Active Device” it showed unassigned.

 

We are currently running on 11.4.1 HF9. Did we followed correct process, If yes then Are we hitting any bug?

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

 

Regards, Mahantesh.
