7MTT (7-Mode Transition Tool)

Issue

  • TDP allows the use of:
    • data lifs
    • intercluster lifs
    • mgmt lifs 
  • 7MTT requires the use of:
    • intercluster lifs
  • The 7MTT will give an error when attempting prechecks
    • The following nodes in the cluster do not have any intercluster LIFs configured on them. One or more intercluster LIFs are required on the following nodes to perform SnapMirror data copy operations from the 7-Mode volumes to the clustered Data ONTAP volumes.
    • Create one or more intercluster LIFs on the affected nodes by using the following command: 'network interface create -vserver <node-vserver> -lif <lif-name> -role intercluster -home-node <node-name> -home-port <node-port> -address <ip-address> -netmask <netmask>'. After creating the intercluster LIFs, create the routing groups and routes for the LIFs. For more information about how to configure intercluster LIFs, refer to the Clustered Data ONTAP Network Management Guide.
