Node: ontap-select-01

Link : up

IC RDMA connection : down

Node: ontap-select-02

Link : down

IC RDMA connection : down

When Link shows down, the status in VMWare for the vNIC shows connected - if not, then connect the vNIC in VMWare:

Note: refer to Solution section on how to identify the correct vNic MAC address

Event log shows a sequence of events when the problem triggers:

Note: some events like the ones with severity debug will not show under admin privilege and might require elevation of privilege level
