Today we would like to give some attention to a feature that has been implemented in the up56 of the Open-E DSS V7 Data Storage Software: the Maintenance Mode.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Maintenance Mode?<\/h3>\n<p>The topic of Maintenance Mode has been in the foreground for quite a long time, as the feature has a great deal to offer. With Maintenance Mode in Failover for iSCSI and NFS shares users can actually proceed with various tasks while the Virtual IP is still available but the cluster services are shut down. This feature is giving us an option to even replace one node while in production without any downtime. Thanks to the Maintenance Mode, it is possible to reconfigure the cluster, or replace hardware \u2013 or even the whole node \u2013 without downtime. Moreover, when starting a cluster, the Open-E DSS V7 is checking the settings on each node, including: SCSI IDs, tasks, ping nodes, configurations, resource pools, auxiliary paths, and more. With this strategy, clusters cannot be started unless they were configured properly.<\/p>\n<p>Below you find three recent webinars, all on the topic of Maintenance Mode in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.open-e.com\/products\/data-storage-software-v7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open-E DSS V7<\/a>, presented in a form of live demos by our two moderators, Janusz Bak and Todd Maxwell. They will take you through the configuration processes, showing how to enable\/disable the cluster maintenance mode, replace the cluster node, NIC, a Storage Unit, have a new RAID array or even a whole new system and more\u2013 all this whithout downtime!<\/p>\n<h3>Open E DSS V7 HA Cluster Maintenance Mode<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>New features in Open-E DSS V7 up56<\/li>\n<li>HA Cluster Maintenance Mode<\/li>\n<li>Data replication: Block-mode, compressed and encrypted transport, Check_MK monitoring<\/li>\n<li>E-mail notification based on severity levels<\/li>\n<li>Driver updates and fixes<\/li>\n<li>HA Cluster Maintenance Mode (live demo)<\/li>\n<li>Cluster reconfiguration without downtime<\/li>\n<li>Cluster node replacement without downtime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a8OvYo-dS6U\" width=\"580\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Open E DSS V7 HA Cluster Maintenance Mode part 2<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cluster reconfiguration and rebuild without downtime (live demo)<\/li>\n<li>Enable \/ disable Cluster Maintenance Mode<\/li>\n<li>Ping node reconfiguration without downtime<\/li>\n<li>Network Interface Card replacement without downtime<\/li>\n<li>Storage Unit replacement without downtime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kfpojGuNxoU\" width=\"580\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>Maintenance Mode with Open-E DSS V7 in Failover with iSCSI and NFS<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Enable Maintenance Mode on Open-E DSS V7<\/li>\n<li>Move resources to Local Node<\/li>\n<li>Stop Failover and keep Virtual IP running<\/li>\n<li>Shutdown other Node and introduce new Node<\/li>\n<li>Configure new Node with Logical Volumes, Replication, Share and Targets<\/li>\n<li>Configure Failover AUX IPs, Ping Nodes, VIPs and resources<\/li>\n<li>Start Failover service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FNf8ZT_D3Qw\" width=\"580\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thus far, we have been focusing mainly on Open-E JovianDSS and its major new feature, the\u00a0Off-site Data Protection\u00a0with Consistent Snapshots.
