CONTAP-74682: ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert with all nodes having working paths to each switch
Issue
One or more nodes reporting ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert events and AutoSupport messages like: HA Group Notification (Health Monitor process cshm: ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert[node_name]) ALERT. or Call home for Health Monitor process cshm: ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert[node_name] EMS message: [node_name: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert, Alerting Resource = node_name raised by monitor ethernet-switch. All nodes have connections to both cluster switches in NetApp Active IQ AutoSupport section DEVICE-DISCOVERY (or network device-discovery show from ONTAP CLI). Example:node_name cdp e0a cluster-switch1(FOX1234ABCD) Ethernet1/9 node_name cdp e0b cluster-switch2(FOX5678EFGH) Ethernet1/9 node_name cdp e0c cluster-switch2(FOX5678EFGH) Ethernet1/10 node_name cdp e0d cluster-switch1(FOX1234ABCD) Ethernet1/10 System healt alert output indicates an issue . Example:: ::> system health alert show Node: node_name Resource: node_name Severity: Major Indication Time: Sun Dec 31 23:59:59 2023 Suppress: false Acknowledge: false Probable Cause: One or more nodes are not connected to both cluster switches. Possible Effect: If one cluster switch fails, node_name might lose access to the cluster.
Corrective Actions: Verify that the switch switch-01. or::> system health alert show Node node_name Monitor ethernet-switch Alert ID ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Alert Alerting Resource node_name Subsystem Switch-Health Indication Time Wed Feb 14 09:47:57 2024 Perceived Severity Major Probable Cause Configuration_error Description The ethernet switch, with the name "switch_name", is not connected to all of the nodes in the cluster. Corrective Actions Verify that the switch "switch_name" is connected to the node "node_name" and that the switch's name has not been modified due to a change in the switch's link discovery protocol used for advertisements. Possible Effect If one cluster switch fails, "node_name" might lose access to the cluster. Acknowledge false Suppress false Policy ClusterSwitchConnectivity_Policy
