Issue

  • The following event is generated due to switchback failure:

[Node-01: notifyd: callhome.mcc.switchback.failed:EMERGENCY]: Call home for METROCLUSTER SWITCHBACK FAILED

  • MetroCluster switchback fails with the following error:
Cluster-1 (manual recovery required): Some disks were left behind during switchback. They are listed along with a reason for failure: 4.27.1 (not responding)
If any of these disks are failed, replace them. Otherwise use the "metrocluster switchback" command again to return the disks to their original owner. Use the "storage disk show -dr-home-id !- -fields dr-home, container-type, aggregate" command for more details on the status of the left-behind disks.
