switchscf(8)
System Administration 467
NAME switchscf - switch the XSCF unit between the active and standby states
SYNOPSIS switchscf [[-q] -{y|n}] -t {Active | Standby} [-f]
switchscf -h
DESCRIPTION The switchscf(8) command switches the XSCF unit that the user is currently
logged in to, between the active and standby states.
The switchscf(8) command is available on the M8000/M9000 servers only.
When the active XSCF unit currently logged in to is switched from active to standby
or vice versa, the state of the standby XSCF unit is also switched.
Note – When switched, the session of the network which has been connected to the
active XSCF is terminated.
Caution – Usually, XSCFs cannot be switched while maintenance work is in
progress. If "Switching of XSCF state is disabled due to a maintenance operation.
Try again later." is displayed as a result from the switchscf(8) command and
XSCFs cannot be switched, check whether the addfru(8), deletefru(8),
replacefru(8), or flashupdate(8) maintenance command is being executed. If
the command is being executed, wait until the command ends. If XSCFs cannot be
switched though none of those maintenance commands is being executed, use the
-f option to switch them.
Privileges You must have platadm or fieldeng privileges to run this command.
Refer to setprivileges(8) for more information.
OPTIONS The following options are supported:
-f Switches the state in a case XSCF state can't be changed due to a
maintenance operation.
Caution – Since the -f option forcibly switches XSCF, limit the
use of this option to such cases as when switching does not work
in normal operations.
-h Displays usage statement. When used with other options or
operands, an error occurs.
-n Automatically answers "n" (no) to all prompts.
-q Suppresses all messages to stdout, including prompts.
