If a failed Distributed CMIC is expected to be out of service for an extended period of time, for example, while waiting for a replacement part, you can change the failover CMIC to the active CMIC, which restores full use of SMWeb.
- From the Tree View, select the failover CMIC.
-
Do one of the following:
- Select .
- From the toolbar, click Manage CMIC.
- From the Server Management Web Services web page, if prompted, log on to the CMIC.
- Select .
- From the CMIC Configuration Editor, modify the Functionality line from <Functionality name="distributed" type="failover"/> to <Functionality name="distributed" type="active"/>.
- To save the file locally, from the toolbar, click the green down arrow.
- From the toolbar, click P to save the configuration to the CMIC.
If the original failed CMIC is recovered, duplicate alerts are sent home unless a maintenance window suppresses escalation. To correct, change the original failed CMIC to type "failover."
