Applies to
- Data ONTAP 9
- MetroCluster
- Cisco SAN switches
- Brocade SAN switches
Issue
- When determining metrocluster status, LIF warnings are observed:
::> metrocluster check run
::> metrocluster check show
Last Checked On: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
Component Result
------------------- ---------
nodes ok
lifs warning
config-replication ok
aggregates ok
clusters oK
- Further analysis indicates fabric name related issue:
::> metrocluster check lif show
