Controller Hardware Upgrade: Aggregate Relocation Fails
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.8+
Issue
- Performing "Manually upgrade controller hardware running ONTAP 9.8 or later"
- During Step 3 "Install and boot node3", see errors when attempting to relocate non-root aggregates from node2 to node3:
netapp1::*> aggr relocation start -node netapp1-02 -destination netapp1-03 -aggregate-list data_aggr* ndo-controller-upgrade true
Warning: Aggregate relocation will not change home ownership of an aggregate
which is owned by the source node during an NDO controller upgrade.
This parameter should be used only while performing NDO controller
upgrade. Are you performing NDO controller upgrade?
{y|n}: y
Info: Run the "storage aggregate relocation show" command to check relocation
status.
netapp1::*> aggr relocation show
Source Aggregate Destination Relocation Status
-------------- ---------- ----------- -----------------
netapp1-03
- - Not attempted yet
netapp1-02
data_aggr1 netapp1-03 Not attempted yet
data_aggr2 netapp1-03 Failed: destination cannot receive the aggregate. Check the event log.
- Output from 'storage failover show':
netapp1::*> storage failover show
Takeover
Node Partner Possible State Description
-------------- -------------- -------- -------------------------------------
netapp1-03 - false Connected to partner. Waiting for
partner lock synchronization.
Takeover is not possible: Storage
failover is disabled
netapp1-02 netapp1-03 false Node owns partner's aggregates as
part of the nondisruptive controller
upgrade procedure. Takeover is not
possible: Storage failover is
disabled
- Reason for failure seen in EMS:
[netapp1-02: sfo_arl_worker: aggr.relocation.failed:error]: Relocation of aggregate data_aggr2 failed by node netapp1-03 because partner was not ready to serve data.
