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.

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

do you use NFS, CIFS or ISCSI ?
If NFS do you use soft mounts or hard mounts ?
