question on starting failover....

I've got a ~14Tb filesystem that's in production, and I just realized
that I forgot to put in place the /etc/failover.conf file before I last
rebooted (which is when I put in place this filesystem... )

The failover.conf file is all configured, and I'm pretty sure that I
just need to run '/etc/init.d/failover start' to get hinv to show me my
'primary path' & 'alternate path' stuff. I just don't recall doing this
on a fully in use filesystem before. I think I have... but I just want
to get a warm fuzzy that turning on failover in this current context is
no different than if I had just rebooted.

Can anybody that makes use of failover chime in... or any SGI folks?

Thanks!
