You can either edit the leases file or do this via omshell/OMAPI.
To change via the leases file:
Stop the server, then look for the last failover statement:
failover peer "Failover-Pair-Name" state {
my state state at 1 date;
partner state state at 1 date;
}
Data will vary depending on your machine, actual date, etc. In the "my state" section, change from the existing state to "partner-down":
failover peer "Failover-Pair-Name" state {
my state partner-down at 1 date;
partner state state at 1 date;
}
Leave the date and everything else as is. Restart the server.
To change via omshell/OMAPI:
omshell << EOF
server localhost
key omapi_key "XXX=="
connectnew failover-state
set name = "foo"
openset local-state = 4
update
EOF
Note that you will have to enable OMAPI in your dhcpd.conf
file to use omshell:
# To enable OMAPI
omapi-port 7911;
key omapi_key {
algorithm HMAC-MD5;
secret "XXXX==";
};
omapi-key omapi_key;
