Applies to

Issue
- Node takeover fails with an error:

{y|n}: y
Error: command failed: Could not migrate LIFs away from node "Node1":
Reason Failed to migrate one or more LIFs away from node
"Node1". Use the "network interface show -curr-node
Node1" command to identify LIFs that could not be migrated off
that node. Use the "network interface migrate" command to manually
migrate the LIFs off the node. Run "storage failover show" to confirm
node "Node1" is operational. If node is operational, reissue
the takeover command with "-skip-lif-migration-before-takeover" to skip
the migration and proceed with takeover.
- LIFs in use are SAN based.
