Issue

  • Alert in system health alert show states that each node can only see one cluster switch via discovery information (CDP / LLDP).

Only one cluster switch, "ClusterSW1(XXXXXXX)", has been discovered to be connected to the cluster ports of node "Cluster-N1". If a cluster connection was not discovered, but the expected cluster switch is listed in the output of "system switch ethernet show", it indicates that the node is not currently receiving discovery information about the missing switches.

Only one cluster switch, "ClusterSW2(YYYYYYY)", has been discovered to be connected to the cluster ports of node "Cluster-N2". If a cluster connection was not discovered, but the expected cluster switch is listed in the output of "system switch ethernet show", it indicates that the node is not currently receiving discovery information about the missing switches.
