Applies to

  • MetroCluster FC-to-IP transition
  • ONTAP 9

Issue

  • During FC-to-IP transition, the ‘metrocluster remove-dr-group’ command fails
  • System reports data aggregates exist on a node that is down or in LOADER prompt, blocking DR group removal
  • Following errors observed

[Job 46937] Job is queued: MetroClusterRemoveDRGroupJob.
[Job 46937] Local veto checks
[Job 46937] Job failed: Preparation steps to remove a DR group were not completed.

Veto checks failed on the local cluster "Cluster1".

Preparation steps were not completed for node "Node1-1".

Node "Node2-1" (cluster "Cluster2") has data aggregates that must be removed before removing the DR group.
In cluster "Cluster2", use the "storage aggregate show -node Node2-1 -has-mroot false" command to identify the data aggregates and then use the "storage aggregate delete" command to remove the data aggregates.

  • Verification shows no data aggregates present, only root aggregates
  • Affected node is down and not reachable in ONTAP
