Testing the MetroCluster configuration

You can test failure scenarios to confirm the correct operation of the MetroCluster configuration.

Verifying negotiated switchover
You can test the negotiated (planned) switchover operation to confirm uninterrupted data availability.
Verifying healing and manual switchback
You can test the healing and manual switchback operations to verify that data availability is not affected (except for SMB) by switching back the cluster to the original data center after a negotiated switchover.
Loss of a single FC-to-SAS bridge
You can test the failure of a single FC-to-SAS bridge to make sure there is no single point of failure.
Verifying operation after power line disruption
You can test the MetroCluster configuration's response to the failure of a PDU.
Verifying operation after a switch fabric failure
You can disable a switch fabric to show that data availability is not affected by the loss.
Verifying operation after loss of a single storage shelf
You can test the failure of a single storage shelf to verify that there is no single point of failure.
