  • ONTAP 9
  • storage failover
  • auto-giveback

Answer

  • Although the -auto-giveback setting was disabled with the storage failover modify command, the system still performed an auto-giveback once the node was booted back up because -onreboot was enabled.
  • If the system performs a takeover because the partner node reboots and the -onreboot setting is enabled, the system will always perform an auto-giveback once the partner node is back up, regardless of the -auto-giveback setting being disabled.
  • If auto-giveback was performed due to the -onreboot setting, the following events will be seen in the EMS logs:
... [Node1: cf_main: cf.fsm.autoGBTkoverOnReboot:info]: Failover monitor: Automatic giveback was initiated following a takeover that was caused by the partner reboot.
... [Node1: cf_main: cf.fsm.autoGivebackStarted:info]: Failover monitor: Automatic giveback started
