Suspended mode temporarily disables the ability of the primary companion to fail over to the secondary companion. To switch from normal companion mode to suspended mode:
Stop the high availability subsystem from monitoring the primary and secondary companion as resources. As “root,” issue:
hasybase stop primary_companion_name hasybase stop secondary_companion_name
For example, to stop monitoring primary and secondary companions MONEY1 and PERSONEL1:
hasybase stop MONEY1 hasybase stop PERSONEL1
Suspend normal companion mode. From the secondary companion, issue:
sp_companion companion_name, suspend
For example, to suspend primary companion MONEY1 for maintenance, connect to secondary companion PERSONEL1 and issue:
sp_companion MONEY1, suspend
To put the entire logical host in maintenance mode, refer to Sun Cluster System Administration Guide for details.
