Network issue between cluster and cluster switch cause CSHM alerts
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Cluster network switches
- Metrocluster IP backend switches
Issue
- The following alerts are observed in the event logs:
[Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:notice]: Alert Id = SwitchCommunityString_Alert , Alerting Resource = Switch-SW1 raised by monitor cluster-switch
[Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = ClusterSwitchMissing_Alert , Alerting Resource = Cluster raised by monitor cluster-switch
[Node-01: mgwd: callhome.hm.alert.major:alert]: Call home for Health Monitor process cshm: ClusterSwitchMissing_Alert[Cluster][Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = SwitchUnreachable_Alert , Alerting Resource = Switch-SW1 raised by monitor ethernet-switch[Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = SwitchInfoUpdateFailure_Alert , Alerting Resource = Switch-SW1 raised by monitor ethernet-switch[Node-01: cshmd: hm.alert.raised:alert]: Alert Id = ClusterSwitchConnectionDegraded_Alert , Alerting Resource = Switch-SW1 raised by monitor ethernet-switch
- In MetroCluster environments,
system health subsystem showoutput may also indicate the metrocluster subsystem is degraded.
