How to halt a single node without takeover in a two-node ONTAP cluster
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- 2 node cluster
Description
In a two-node cluster, cluster HA ensures that the failure of one node does not disable the cluster.
- If you halt or reboot a node in a two-node cluster without takeover by using the
-inhibit-takeover true
parameter, both nodes will stop serving data unless you change specific configuration settings.
WARNING: Failure to do so will cause the up node to also stop serving data. |
ONTAP will warn you if attempt to reboot or halt a node before disabling cluster HA and moving epsilon
cluster1::> reboot -node cluster1-01 -inhibit-takeover true
(system node reboot)
Warning: Rebooting or halting node "cluster1-01" in an HA-enabled cluster with takeover inhibited might result in a data serving failure and client disruption. To ensure
continuity of service, do the following before rebooting or halting the node. Disable cluster HA using the command: "cluster ha modify -configured false".
To transfer epsilon to the partner node, use the following commands (privilege:advanced):
cluster modify -epsilon false -node <local-node>
cluster modify -epsilon true -node <partner-node>
