Create a new failover group
Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The
network interface failover-groups create
command creates a grouping of failover targets
for logical interfaces on one or more nodes.
Use this command to add a new network port or interface group to an existing failover group.
Note: Interfaces for SAN protocols do not support failover. Such
interfaces are not valid failover targets.
Parameters
- -vserver <vserver> - Vserver Name
- Use this parameter to specify the name of the Vservers from which this failover group is accessible.
- -failover-group <text> - Failover Group Name
- Use this parameter to specify the name of the logical interface failover group
that you want to create.
- -targets <<node>:<port>>, ... - Failover Targets
- Use this parameter to specify the list of failover targets (network ports, interface groups, or VLANs on a node) belonging to this failover group.
Examples
The following example shows how to create a failover group named failover-group_2 containing ports e1e and e2e on node Xena.
cluster1::> network interface failover-groups create -vserver vs0 -failover-group failover-group_2 -targets xena:e1e,xena:e2e
