What triggers the process of LIF's auto-revert?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
- Auto-reversion of cluster LIFs requires that the home port send a message that the port is up again before it attempts to process the reversion
- For Auto-Revert to work:
- the LIF's -auto-revert parameter must be set to 'true'
- An automatic process triggers the LIF's home port to send a message that the port is up again
- manual migrations of LIFs and manual up/down of ports will not trigger it
- The LIF's sticky bit is set to 'false'
- The sticky bit is a true/false flag that is set when a manual migration of the LIF is made
