vBlade A "vcs vmaster-take-over 200" Command

C

The "vcs vmaster-take-over" command is used in an A10 Networks chassis system to take over the role of the vMaster device, which is responsible for managing the chassis and ensuring that it operates correctly. When vBlade A issues a "vcs vmaster-take-over 200" command, the following is true:

A. The command is ignored when the current vMaster is in vMaster maintenance mode. If the current vMaster is in vMaster maintenance mode, any "vcs vmaster-take-over" command will be ignored until the current vMaster completes its maintenance and releases the vMaster role.

B. Any subsequent vmaster-take-over command within the chassis with a parameter smaller than 201 is ignored. If a subsequent "vcs vmaster-take-over" command is issued within the chassis, and it has a parameter smaller than 201, it will be ignored. This means that vBlade A with a priority of 200 will remain the vMaster until a higher priority device takes over.

C. The 200 priority is compared to the current vmaster's default vrid priority to determine which device controls the chassis. When vBlade A issues a "vcs vmaster-take-over 200" command, the system will compare the priority of 200 to the current vMaster's default vrid priority to determine which device controls the chassis. If the vMaster has a higher priority, it will remain the vMaster. If vBlade A's priority is higher, it will take over the vMaster role.

D. If an administrator on vBlade B were to simultaneously issue command vcs vmaster-take-over 210, vBlade B would become the vMaster. If an administrator on vBlade B issues a "vcs vmaster-take-over 210" command at the same time that vBlade A issues a "vcs vmaster-take-over 200" command, vBlade B will become the vMaster. This is because vBlade B has a higher priority of 210, and the system will always choose the device with the highest priority to be the vMaster.
