Issue

  • When attempting to halt node02, received the following error:
cluster::> halt -node node02
(system node halt)
 
Warning: Rebooting or halting node "node02" in an HA-enabled cluster might result in client disruption or data access failure. To ensure continuity of service, use the "storage failover takeover" command.
Are you sure you want to halt node "node02"? {y|n}: y
 
Error: command failed: RPC: Couldn't make connection [from mgwd on node "node01" (VSID: -1) to mgwd at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
 
  • Attempted halt command with the force flag, but received the same error:
cluster::> system node halt -f -ignore-quorum-warnings true -skip-lif-migration-before-shutdown true -node node02
 
Warning: Rebooting or halting node "node02" in an HA-enabled cluster with takeover inhibited might result in a data serving failure and client disruption. To ensure continuity of service, do the following before rebooting or halting the node. Disable cluster HA using
         the command: "cluster ha modify -configured false".
         To transfer epsilon to the partner node, use the following commands (privilege:advanced):
                cluster modify -epsilon false -node <local-node>
                cluster modify -epsilon true -node <partner-node>
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y
 
Error: command failed: RPC: Couldn't make connection [from mgwd on node "node01" (VSID: -1) to mgwd at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
