48 Configuring Your System and Network

High-Availability Configuration

If you have a high-availability NAS server, you have several shutdown

options:

Stop the server and do not fail over packages. You can manually stop

each package, then stop the server, or you can stop the server and cause

the packages to stop automatically. Once the server is stopped, it is no

longer active in the cluster and is not serving any file systems, so you can

safely stop it by following steps 1-4 in “Direct-Attached and SAN

Configuration” on page 47.

Fail all packages over to the other server. To do so, simply stop each

package and restart it on the other server. Once the packages are all

failed over, you can stop the server (take it out of the cluster), then follow

steps 1-4 in “Direct-Attached and SAN Configuration” on page 47.

Fail selected packages over to the other server. This option is similar to the

previous option, except that you fail over only selected packages.

Stop the entire cluster by taking both servers down. You can either

manually stop all packages on both servers, then stop the cluster, or

simply stop the clustering services to automatically stop all packages.

Once the clustering service is stopped, follow steps 1-4 in “Direct-

Attached and SAN Configuration” on page 47 on each server.
