You can use the network interface failover-groups commands to manage failover groups. You use the network interface modify command to manage the failover groups and failover policies that are applied to a LIF.

If you want to…​

Use this command…​

Add network ports to a failover group

network interface failover-groups add-targets

Remove network ports from a failover group

network interface failover-groups remove-targets

Modify network ports in a failover group

network interface failover-groups modify

Display the current failover groups

network interface failover-groups show

Configure failover on a LIF

network interface modify -failover-group -failover-policy

Display the failover group and failover policy that is being used by each LIF

network interface show -fields failover-group, failover-policy

Rename a failover group

network interface failover-groups rename

Delete a failover group

network interface failover-groups delete
Note Modifying a failover group such that it does not provide a valid failover target for any LIF in the cluster can result in an outage when a LIF attempts to fail over.
