Performing a manual giveback

You can perform a normal giveback, a giveback in which you terminate processes on the partner node, or a forced giveback.

Note
Prior to performing a giveback, you must remove the failed drives in the taken-over system as described in the Disks and Aggregates Power Guide .
  • If giveback is interrupted
    If the takeover node experiences a failure or a power outage during the giveback process, that process stops and the takeover node returns to takeover mode until the failure is repaired or the power is restored.
  • If giveback is vetoed
    If giveback is vetoed, you must check the EMS messages to determine the cause. Depending on the reason or reasons, you can decide whether you can safely override the vetoes.
  • Commands for performing a manual giveback
    You can manually initiate a giveback on a node in an HA pair to return storage to the original owner after completing maintenance or resolving any issues that caused the takeover.
