After verifying disaster readiness, redirect the test clients and/or MediaAgent to the production CommServe host.
Procedure
-
Log on to either the production CommServe host, or the standby CommServe host.
-
Open command prompt and navigate to the folder associated with the SQL client:
For example: opt/commvault2/Base
-
Execute the following command to reset a test failover to the SQL client in the production CommServe host:
./CvFailover -OpType Failover -FailoverType TestFailback -TargetNode TestNodeSQLClient
Syntax:
./CvFailover -OpType <OpType> -FailoverType <Failover Type> -TargetNode <Target Node Name>
Where:
-
<OpType>
can be one of the following operations:Failover - To perform a failover operation.
GetFailoverConfig - To display the failover configuration status.
ResetFailoverOperation - To reset a partial failover operation.
ResetFailoverConfig - To reset an existing failover configuration. (To be used in case of xml corruption.)
-
<Failover Type>
can be one of the following failover types:Production - To perform a production failover.
ProductionMaintenance - To perform a maintenance failover.
MaintenanceFailback option - To reset maintenance failover.
Test - To perform a test failover.
TestFailback - To reset a test failover.
-
<Target Node Name>
is the name of the target SQL client in the CommServe host to which the operation must be failed over. -
-forceUnplannedFailover can be used when the setup is stuck and only when the target node is the node with latest database, to avoid major data loss.
-
Result
The sequence of tasks performed to complete the reset is displayed. The test clients and/or MediaAgents will be redirected back to the production CommServe host.
What to Do Next
If client certificate authentication during installation was disabled before the failover, set the Force per-client certificate authentication option to Yes from the CommCell Console > Control Panel > Certificate Administration dialog box.
