Upgrading a Standalone Appliance to a Clustered Configuration (BUI)
Button Description
Unconfig Upgrade a node to standalone operation by unconfiguring
the cluster.
Apply If resource modifications are pending (rows highlighted
in yellow), commit those changes to the cluster.
Revert If resource modifications are pending (rows highlighted
in yellow), revert those changes and show the current
cluster configuration.
Failback If the current appliance (left-hand side) is the OWNER,
fail-back resources owned by the other appliance to it,
leaving both nodes in the CLUSTERED state (active/
active).
Takeover If the current appliance (left-hand side) is either
CLUSTERED or STRIPPED, force the other appliance
to reboot, and take-over its resources, making the current
appliance the OWNER.

Upgrading a Standalone Appliance to a Clustered
Configuration (BUI)
Use this procedure to upgrade a standalone appliance to a clustered configuration.
Note - It is strongly recommended that you use the BUI to configure clustered controllers.
Before You Begin
Check for the following:
■
The second controller is a new controller or a controller that has been reset to the factory
settings. See “Performing a Factory Reset” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer
Service Manual.
■
Both controllers must be the same model. Note that the 7420 (with 2Ghz or 2.40GHz CPUs)
is based on the same platform and can be clustered with the 7420 (with 1.86GHz or 2.00
GHz CPUs).
■
The standalone appliance is powered on. There is no need to power down the standalone
appliance during this procedure.
