Looking for procedure for data mover failover

I am needing to setup NDMP on a few data movers. To do so, I will need to reboot the production data movers. I want to fail them over to the reserved datamover so not to interrupt production. Can some one post the instructions as to how. thanx.

take a look at server_standby command. For example:



EXAMPLE #1

To create a standby relationship between server_2 (primary) and server_3
(standby), type:

$ server_standby server_2 -create mover=server_3
server_2 : server_3 is rebooting as standby

Before any other actions can take place, the reboot must be complete.

EXAMPLE #2

To activate the server_3 (standby) to take over for server_2 (primary),
type:

$ server_standby server_2 -activate mover
server_2 :
server_2 : going offline
server_3 : going active
replace in progress ...done
failover activity complete
commit in progress (not interruptible)...done

server_2 : renamed as server_2.faulted.server_3
server_3 : renamed as server_2


EXAMPLE #3

To restore server_3 as the standby Data Mover and server_2.faulted.server_3
as the primary, type:

$ server_standby server_2 -restore mover
server_2 :
server_2 : going standby
server_2.faulted.server_3 : going active
replace in progress ...done
failover activity complete
commit in progress (not interruptible)...done

server_2 : renamed as server_3
server_2.faulted.server_3 : renamed as server_2

EXAMPLE #4

To verify readiness of the standby Data Mover, type:

$ server_standby server_2 -verify mover
server_2 : ok

This and much more details you can find the in "Configuring Standbys on Celerra" manual - available on Powerlink thru the Support->Documentation library section

Is it common for the server to loose connection to their drives during the failover, (my Oracle database went down)?

depends on the protocol, mount options and timeout settings

do you use NFS, CIFS or ISCSI ?

If NFS do you use soft mounts or hard mounts ?
