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.
