I nead to disable active/active configuration

cf disable

halt -t 3 -f # shuting down filer 1 with 3 minut delay

#login to filer 2 with root account

halt - 4  -f #shuting down filer 1 with 4 minut delay

But how do I execute thic script on filer

You can use rsh (not secure) or ssh (more secure). By the way, if you use halt with the "-f" option, you do not need to disable cluster. That way, cf will get enabled automatically again after a reboot.

For rsh, you will need to setup a host that may access the filer:

options rsh.enable on

options rsh.access host=<ip-addres or hostname from which you run the script>

Then in the script, you can run the commands like this:

rsh filer1 -l root halt -t 3 -f

rsh filer2 -l root halt -t 4 -f

For SSH, setup is a bit more difficult, especially if you run the script from a windows host. A good example is in this KB article: https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1011670

With rsh you don't need to provide the password (that's why it is not secure - no password required and no encrypted network connection). Oh, and on Windows 2008/Vista and higher you don't have rsh anymore.
