CF\VIF Failover test - NetApp Filers.

Usually for a new Filers we will be testing CF\VIF takeover test  before getting that BOX to Production...now here let's see procedure.


CF Takeover:


1. Login to Netapp CLI using your Login credentials.
2. Turn off SNMP and Autosupport before do this 
      --> options snmp.enable off
      --> options autosupport.enable off
3. Before starting the test make sure "Takeover NODE is UP"
      --> cf status
4. Now we need to run takeover command
     --> cf takeover
5. While the node is trying to do takeover - try to ping other node...finally it will be giving alert that "Takeover is sucess"
6. Check the status by 
     --> cf monitor
7. Once the node is ready to giveback 
       --> cf status (tells us if node is ready to giveback or not)
       --> cf giveback
8. Then check the "cf status" node should show as UP
9. ON -  SNMP and Autosupport
      --> options snmp.enable on
      --> options autosupport.enable on
10. To get the LOGS go to /etc/messages - and get the Failover logs.




VIF Failover:


1. See the status of interface 
    --> ifgrp status
2. If above cmd shows 1 - up and 1- down, note the name of non-active(which dhows down) interface and test it
3. ifgrp favor e2a
4. go to /etc/messages to collect the Failover logs.
