Issue

  • When a lif migrates to one of its failover targets, data access is lost even though the migration happened with no issues.

::> network interface show -lif <lif>
            Logical    Status     Network            Current       Current Is
Vserver     Interface  Admin/Oper Address/Mask       Node          Port    Home
----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------ ------------- ------- ----
svm1
            lif1         up/up    10.XXX.XXX.XXX/24     Cluster-01
                                                                   e0b     false

::> network interface show -vserver <svm> -lif <lif> -failover
         Logical         Home                  Failover        Failover
Vserver  Interface       Node:Port             Policy          Group
-------- --------------- --------------------- --------------- ---------------
svm1
         lif1            Cluster-01:e0a    system-defined  Default
                         Failover Targets: Cluster-01:e0a,
                                           Cluster-01:e0b,
                                           Cluster-02:e0a,
                                           Cluster-02:e0b,

 
  • When reverting the lif back home, all data access is restored.
::> network interface revert -vserver <svm> -lif <lif>
