See Testing resource failover using virtual fire drills

 To run a virtual fire drill for a specific resource

• Type the following command.

  # hares -action <resname> <vfdaction>.vfd -sys <sysname>

The command runs the infrastructure check verifies whether the system <sysname> has the required infrastructure to host the resource <resname>, should a failover require the resource to come online on the system. For the variable <sysname>, specify the name of a system on which the resource is offline. The variable <vfdaction> specifies the Action defined for the agent. The virtual fire drill checks for a resource type can are defined in the SupportedActions attribute and can be identified with the .vfd suffix.

 To run a virtual fire drill for a service group

• Type the following command.

  # havfd -grp <grpname> -sys <sysname>

The command runs the infrastructure check and verifies whether the system <sysname> has the required infrastructure to host resources in the service group <grpname> should a failover require the service group to come online on the system. For the variable <sysname>, specify the name of a system on which the resource is offline

 To fix detected errors

• Type the following command.

  # hares -action <resname> <vfdaction>.vfd fix -sys <sysname>

The variable <vfdaction> represents the check that reported errors for the system specified by the variable <sysname>. The virtual fire drill checks for a resource type can are defined in the SupportedActions attribute and can be identified with the .vfd suffix.
