Issue

  • When attempting to perform a node configuration restore (config restore) test in a healthy 2-node ONTAP HA cluster, the following errors are encountered:

Cluster::*> cluster modify -node node01 -eligibility false
Warning: When a node's eligibility is set to "false," SAN and NAS access might be affected. This setting should be used only for unusual maintenance operations. To restore the node's data-serving capabilities, set the eligibility to
"true" and reboot the node. Continue? {y|n}: y
Error: command failed: Could not change eligibility of specified node: SL_HA_CONFIG_ERROR (code 102)
The requested command isn't allowed under the current cluster HA configuration. Cluster HA configuration is an option for clusters with two eligible members. This error message can occur when attempting to perform any operation
that is not eligible under a HA configuration, such as, assigning epsilon to a node.
