    Note

    The services on standby SBC server must be stopped before switching to GRHA mode since the switch to GRHA mode causes a temporary HA link outage. The script will verify the state of the servers and make the necessary changes.


  2. From the CLI command prompt, perform one of the steps below, depending on your configuration. For example, in SBC Core, set bond monitoring type to network-connect and leader election algorithm type to enhanced:

    Code Block

    On the standby server, execute the following command:

    Note

    Bond monitoring is only applicable to SBC 5000/7000 series platforms.

    To set bond monitoring type to network-connect and leader election algorithm type to enhanced:
     
    Code Block
    languagenone
    > request system admin sbx2 setHaConfig bondMonitoring network-connect leaderElection enhanced  

    To set bond monitoring type to direct-connect and retain currentValue setting of leader election algorithm:

    Code Block
    > request system admin sbx2 setHaConfig bondMonitoring direct-connect leaderElection currentValue

    On the active server, execute the following command:

     To set bond monitoring type to network-connect and leader election algorithm type to enhanced:
    Code Block
    languagenone
    > request system admin sbx1 setHaConfig bondMonitoring network-connect leaderElection enhanced  

    To set bond monitoring type to direct-connect and retain currentValue setting of leader election algorithm:

    Code Block
