Issue

  • The storage failover check-takeover command shows the following error:
    ::*> storage failover check-takeover
    Node Operation Option Operation-Status Reasons for Failure
    ----- ----------- ------ ---------------- ---------------------------------
    cluster1-01 takeover normal false entry doesn't exist
    cluster1-02 takeover normal false entry doesn't exist
    2 entries were displayed.

  • Re-running storage failover takeover check-only may also show the same error:
    ::*> storage failover takeover -ofnode cluster1-01 -check-only true
    Error: command failed: entry doesn't exist

  • This may also be encountered as an ANDU validation error:
    Error: Takeover is not possible.
    Action: Ensure storage failover is enabled on all nodes before attempting NDU.
    To check for storage failover status, run "storage failover show".
    cluster1-01: "entry doesn't exist",
    cluster1-02: "entry doesn't exist"
