Restoring a Disabled Fabric
Describes how to obtain an activation key to restore a disabled fabric.
If you forget to pay your invoice, a fabric can be disabled by HPE. If your contract terms are not met, HPE activates a "kill switch" that causes the CLDBs to restart, eventually causing the fabric to enter a non-functional state.
To check the fabric status, use the
maprcli cluster services status
command.
For example:$ maprcli cluster services status -json
{
"timestamp":1691100826677,
"timeofday":"2023-08-03 03:13:46.677 GMT-0700 PM",
"status":"OK",
"total":1,
"data":[
{
"status":"ENABLED"
}
]
}
If you suspect that the fabric has been disabled, contact HPE Support. HPE Support can supply a special activation key that you can use to restore the fabric. With the activation key, you can restore the fabric.
