Applies to

  • BES-53248 network switches with EFOS 3.7.0.4 and newer
  • ONTAP 9
  • MetroCluster IP (MCCIP)

Issue

  • After EFOS upgrade to 3.7.0.4 on both BES-53248 switches, one controller in the MCCIP no longer displays cluster network switches in device-discovery show
  • Switch logs confirm that storage side ports are properly displayed under show isdp neighbors

  • Collected packet-traces from the switches confirm that Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets are being forwarded to the storage correctly
  • Migrating the cluster LIF between nodes and then disabling and re-enabling the ports makes no difference
  • Performing a takeover and giveback between nodes doesn't help
  • Updating ONTAP to version 9.9.1P10 or 9.10P6 leads to no change
  • Physical inspection of the storage and switches confirms all ports and cables are working correctly
