Applies to

  • AFF A400
  • HA Interconnect connection trhough e0a and e0b ports.

Issue

  • HA Interconnect ports offline, in both nodes. Example: 
NODE-A
[NODE-A: kernel: netif.linkDown:info]: Ethernet e0a: Link down, check cable.
[NODE-A: kernel: netif.linkDown:info]: Ethernet e0b: Link down, check cable.
[NODE-A: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverByPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of NODE-A by NODE-B disabled (HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support).
[NODE-A: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverOfPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of NODE-B disabled (HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support).
[NODE-A: monitor: monitor.globalStatus.critical:EMERGENCY]: Controller failover of NODE-B is not possible: HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support. There are not enough spare disks.
[NODE-A: statd: cf.takeover.disabled:alert]: HA mode, but takeover of partner is disabled due to reason : HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support.
[NODE-A: statd: ic.HAInterconnectDown:error]: HA interconnect: Interconnect down for 15 minutes: all links are down
[NODE-A: statd: callhome.hainterconnect.down:alert]: Call home for HA INTERCONNECT DOWN due to all links are down.
 
NODE-B
[NODE-B: kernel: netif.linkDown:info]: Ethernet e0a: Link down, check cable.
[NODE-B: kernel: netif.linkDown:info]: Ethernet e0b: Link down, check cable.
[NODE-B: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverByPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of NODE-B by NODE-A disabled (HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support).
[NODE-B: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverOfPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of NODE-A disabled (HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support).
[NODE-B: monitor: monitor.globalStatus.critical:EMERGENCY]: Controller failover of NODE-A is not possible: HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support. There are not enough spare disks.
[NODE-B: statd: cf.takeover.disabled:alert]: HA mode, but takeover of partner is disabled due to reason : HA interconnect error. Verify that the partner node is running and that the HA interconnect cabling is correct, if applicable. For further assistance, contact technical support.
[NODE-B: statd: ic.HAInterconnectDown:error]: HA interconnect: Interconnect down for 15 minutes: all links are down
[NODE-B: statd: callhome.hainterconnect.down:alert]: Call home for HA INTERCONNECT DOWN due to all links are down.
  • SFP information for both nodes is present in ::> system node run -node * -command sysconfig -a output but, ports are down:

  • "::*> system ha interconnect status show" appears link 0 and link 1 are down status. Example:

::> set advanced

::*> system ha interconnect status show
                     Node:node-1
            Link 0 Status: down
            Link 1 Status: down
         Is Link 0 Active: false
         Is Link 1 Active: false
       IC RDMA Connection: up
                     Node:node-2
            Link 0 Status: down
            Link 1 Status: down
         Is Link 0 Active: false
         Is Link 1 Active: false
       IC RDMA Connection: up

  • The issue remains after re-seating each HA interconnect SFPs and cables connection.
  • Loopback test agains HA interconnect ports, in the same node, brings both ports back online. 
  • Both nodes remain online but no takeover:

::*> storage failover show -node *
                              Takeover
