a. From the VxFlex OS CLI (SCLI), run:
scli --query_cluster
Note:
The SCLI is installed as part of the MDM component and can be
found in the following path:
ESXi (SVM) — scli
l
Linux — scli
l
b. If the node's IP addresses are included in the --query_cluster output,
the faulty node has a role of either MDM or TieBreaker (TB), in addition to
its SDS role.
If the node's IP address is located in the Master MDM role, a switch-over
action is required.
c. Switch MDM ownership to a different node:
scli -switch_mdm_ownership (-new_master_mdm_id <ID> | --
new_master_mdm_ip <IP> | --new_master_mdm_name <NAME>)
The node remains in the cluster. The cluster will be in degraded mode after it
is powered off, until the faulty component or patch operation in the node is
fixed and the node is powered back on.
d. Verify that the cluster status shows that the node is not the Master MDM
anymore:
scli --query_cluster
Output similar to the following should appear, with the relevant node
configuration and IP addresses for your deployment:
