Failover is automatic and will allow applications to continue uninterrupted. In the event of failover, repeated warnings appear on the system console indicating a failover event has occurred. The warning specifies which high availability array ldev has experienced a failover event. 

  HIGH AVAILABILITY FAILOVER IS STARTED FOR LDEV# IN DISK ARRAY.
  NO DATA LOSS OR CORRUPTION.
  SYSTEM OPERATION WILL CONTINUE.
  PLEASE PLACE SERVICE CALL SOON.

  ACKNOWLEDGE HAFO FAILOVER IN DISK ARRAY FOR LDEV# (Y/N)?
The warning message will be displayed on the console every five minutes until the operator does a [CTRL-A] reply. In addition to the console warning message, a failover generates entries in the I/O and system logs.

The HAFO console message allows you to monitor the failure event. There is also a new command HASTAT, that allows you to display status for all HAFO configured ldevs at anytime. HASTAT displays the following information:

  • LDEV # of arrays configured for failover

  • Primary and alternate path information

  • Status of primary and alternate data path for doing I/O (failover and possible cause of data path failure)

NOTE: The HASTAT command only reports on ldevs that are in the HAFOCONF file in the group from which the system was booted.
