Metrocluster switchover with python - is it possible?

[iUser]

Hi, guys!

 I'm looking a template, or example, to write a simple script that will make a switchover of metrocluster. I'm not sure, if it's possible at all, but maybe somebody have already done such task. Any comments or advises?

Haven't tried it myself, but look at the "metrocluster-switchover" in the NetApp SDK documentation. I guess something like this should work:

import NaServer, NaElement

hostname = ''
username = ''
password = ''

zapi = SDK.NaServer(hostname, 1, 3)                                                                                           
zapi.set_server_type('FILER')                                                                                                       
zapi.set_transport_type('HTTPS')                                                                                                    
zapi.set_style('LOGIN')                                                                                                             
zapi.set_admin_user(username, password)
                                                                                     
request = SDK.NaElement('metrocluster-switchover')                                                                                       
request.child_add_string('simulate', 'true')  

response = zapi.invoke_elem(request)

This should simulate a switchover, but I warn again: haven't tried it myself.
