Is it possible to perform an ONTAP upgrade when the network switch has failed?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
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.
::> network port ifgrp show
