Issue

  • The failover is disabled and enabled automatically between a HA pair due to unstable HA interconnect link:

[Netapp1-01: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverOfPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of Netapp1-02 disabled (unsynchronized log).
[Netapp1-01: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverByPartnerDisabled:error]: Failover monitor: takeover of Netapp1-01 by Netapp1-02 disabled (unsynchronized log)

[Netapp1-01: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverOfPartnerEnabled:notice]: Failover monitor: takeover of Netapp1-02 enabled
[Netapp1-01: cf_main: cf.fsm.takeoverByPartnerEnabled:notice]: Failover monitor: takeover of Netapp1-01 by Netapp1-02 enabled

  • The HA interconnect port is disabled and enabled at the same time:

[Netapp1-01: kernel: netif.linkDown:info]: Ethernet e1a: Link down, check cable.
[Netapp1-01: kernel: netif.linkUp:info]: Ethernet e1a: Link up.
