ONTAP 9

Issue

  • The ifgrp is in partial participation even though the link for both ports are up.

  • Network trace on the port shows ONTAP pushing traffic to the NIC.
  • Issue is not resolved from SFP replacement.
  • When disconnecting the port, the link goes away and comes back when reconnected, as expected. This may vary as the NIC firmware may not change state if defective.
