LIF migration fails during ANDU using the batch method
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Automated Nondisruptive Upgrade (ANDU)
- Batch Method
Issue
- During an ANDU ONTAP upgrade a data LIF (Logical interface) migration fails causing the upgrade process to pause.
- When a node takes over its partner, the partner's LIFs migrate according to network interface failover target rules.
- In this scenario, since the partner was not part of the data LIF failover target, it tried to fail over to another node in the cluster.
- The LIF migration fails since the target node was not available as it was going through the upgrade process.
Example:
::> net int show -vserver test -lif lif4 -fields failover-group
(network interface show)
vserver lif failover-group
-------- ---- --------------
test lif4 TEST
::> network interface failover-groups show -failover-group TEST
