CLI Configuration

Use the show command to display the status of nodes in the cluster:

{primary:node0}
user@host> show chassis cluster status redundancy-group 0

Cluster ID: 3
Node name                  Priority     Status    Preempt  Manual failover

Redundancy group: 0 , Failover count: 0
    node0                   254         primary   no       no
    node1                   2           secondary no       no

Output to this command indicates that node 0 is primary.

Use the request command to trigger a failover and make node 1 primary:

{primary:node1}
user@host> request chassis cluster failover redundancy-group 0 node 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Initiated manual failover for redundancy group 0

Use the show command to display the new status of nodes in the cluster.

{primary:node1}
user@host> show chassis cluster status redundancy-group 0

Cluster ID: 1
    Node name              Priority     Status        Preempt  Manual failover

Redundancy-group: 0, Failover count: 1
    node0                  254          secondary     no       yes 
    node1                  2            primary       no       yes

Output to this command shows that node 1 is now primary.

You can reset the failover for redundancy groups by using the request command. This change is propagated across the cluster.

{primary:node1}
user@host> request chassis cluster failover reset redundancy-group 0 node 0

node0:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Successfully reset manual failover for redundancy group 1
node1:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

With back-to-back failovers, after doing a manual failover, you must issue the reset failover command before requesting another failover.

When the primary node fails and comes back up, election of the primary node is done based on regular criteria (priority and preempt).
