Issue

  • An ONTAP upgrade is planned, but the one of connected switch has failed.
  • So manually blocked the ports connected to the faulty switch as follows:

node-0: e0e, e0g, e1a -> Connected to SW#00: up
node-1: e0e, e0g, e1a -> Connected to SW#00: up
node-0: e0f, e0h, e1b -> Connected to SW#01: down
node-1: e0f, e0h, e1b -> Connected to SW#01: down
node-2: e0e, e0g, e1a -> Connected to SW#10: up
node-3: e0e, e0g, e1a -> Connected to SW#10: up
node-2: e0f, e0h, e1b -> Connected to SW#11: up
node-3: e0f, e0h, e1b -> Connected to SW#11: up

  • Based on the output of the network port ifgrp show command, there is an ifgrp with partial active ports.
