Switching to GRHA Mode

Accomplish the following steps to switch to GRHA mode:

  1. Upgrade the SBC application either using LSWU or Platform Manager.

  2. Stop the standby SBC application. On the SBC main screen, go to Administration > System Administration > Platform Management. The Platform and SBC Application Controls window is displayed. To stop the application, click Stop SBC Application in the status panel.

    Stop SBC Application Panel

     


    For details, refer to the section System Administration - Platform Management.

    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.


  3. On the standby server, execute the following command:

    To set bond monitoring type to 'network-connect' and leader election algorithm type to 'enhanced':
     

    > request system sbx2 setHaConfig bondMonitoring network-connect leaderElection enhanced

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

    > request system sbx2 setHaConfig bondMonitoring direct-connect leaderElection currentValue


  4. On the active server, execute the following command:


     To set bond monitoring type to 'network-connect' and leader election algorithm type to 'enhanced':

    > request system sbx1 setHaConfig bondMonitoring network-connect leaderElection enhanced

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

    > request system sbx1 setHaConfig bondMonitoring direct-connect leaderElection currentValue



  5. Start the standby server. Log on SBC application in EMA Platform Mode.

    Start SBC Application Panel


    For details, refer to the section System Administration - Platform Management.

    The standby server comes up and reconnects as standby with the GRHA mode enabled on both the machines.
