6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference (TA768-96057, June 2012)

ibrix_fm
Controls an agile Fusion Manager configuration.
Description
Typically, the Fusion Manager is installed on all file serving nodes when the cluster is installed.
The Fusion Manager is active on one node and passive on the other nodes. This is called an agile
Fusion Manager configuration.
An agile Fusion Manager can be in one of the following modes:
• active. In this mode, the Fusion Manager controls console operations. All cluster administration
and configuration commands must be run from the active Fusion Manager.
• passive. In this mode, the Fusion Manager monitors the health of the active Fusion Manager.
If the active Fusion Manager fails, X9000 software selects one of the passive management
consoles to become the active console.
• nofmfailover. In this mode, the Fusion Manager does not participate in console operations.
This mode is intended for operations such as manual failover of the Fusion Manager, X9000
software upgrades, and blade replacements.
Synopsis
Set the mode for a Fusion Manager:
ibrix_fm -m passive | nofmfailover [-A | -h <FMLIST>]
Moves a Fusion Manager to passive or nofmfailover mode. If the Fusion Manager was previously
the active console, X9000 software will select a new active console. A Fusion Manager currently
in active mode can be moved to either passive or nofmfailover mode. A Fusion Manager in
nofmfailover mode can be moved only to passive mode.
With the exception of the local node running the active Fusion Manager, the -A option moves all
instances of the Fusion Manager to the specified mode. The -h option moves the Fusion Manager
instances in <FMLIST> to the specified mode.
Run an immediate backup of the Fusion Manager configuration:
ibrix_fm -B
By default, the command saves the backup archive at
<installdirectory>/tmp/fmbackup.zip. The existing fmbackup.zip file is overwritten.
Add virtual interface information to the Fusion Manager configuration:
ibrix_fm -c <VIF IP address> –d <VIF device> –n <VIF netmask> –v <VIF
type> [–I <local IP address>]
The <VIF type> is either cluster or user.
Register a Fusion Manager and its IP address/hostname with the active Fusion Manager:
ibrix_fm –R <management_console name> –I <IP address> —a <cluster VIF
address>
Unregister a Fusion Manager that has been uninstalled:
ibrix_fm -u <management_console_name>
Display mode information about the management consoles in the cluster:
ibrix_fm -i
NOTE: If the Fusion Manager was not installed in an agile configuration, the output will report
FusionServer: fusion manager name not set! (active, quorum is not
configured).
