Issue

  • vifmgr.lifdown.noports:alert was generated after a takeover was performed on two nodes in the cluster causing data LIFs to go unavailable.
  • The first data lif was successfully moved over to the failover target after a takeover of the home node was performed:
[node_21: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifmoved.nodedown:notice]: LIF datalif_036 (on virtual server 57), IP address 10.255.20.105, is being moved to node node_07, port a3a-682.
[node_21: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifBeingRemoved:notice]: LIF datalif_036 (on virtual server 57), IP address 10.255.20.105, is being removed from node node_21, port a3a-682.
[node_07: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifsuccessfullymoved:notice]: LIF datalif_036 (on virtual server 57), IP address 10.255.20.105, is now hosted on node node_07, port a3a-682.
  • Straight after that, the failover target node was also shutdown due to a takeover of the node:
[node_07: vi_if_proc_rnic: cf.fsm.nfo.shtdwnRecvIC:debug]: A node received a shutdown request over interconnect.
[node_07: cf_main: cf.fsm.nfo.startingGracefulShutdown:notice]: Negotiated failover: starting graceful shutdown.
  • Following that, all attempts to move the LIFs fail due to the home node and the failover target node being offline:
[node_02: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifdown.noports:alert]: LIF datalif_1039 (on virtual server 19), IP address 1.12.20.27, currently cannot be hosted on node node_07, port a1a-120, or any of its failover targets, and is being marked as down.
[node_02: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifdown.noports:alert]: LIF datalif_001 (on virtual server 19), IP address 1.12.21.190, currently cannot be hosted on node node_07, port a1a-120, or any of its failover targets, and is being marked as down.
[node_02: vifmgr: vifmgr.lifdown.noports:alert]: LIF datalif_007 (on virtual server 19), IP address 1.12.20.41, currently cannot be hosted on node node_07, port a1a-120, or any of its failover targets, and is being marked as down.
