  • SAN
  • Automated Non-Disruptive Upgrade (ANDU)
  • Controller Upgrade

Issue

  • ONTAP upgrade after controller hardware upgrade pauses.

Example:

Error: SAN or NVMe LIFs are currently down, potentially causing an outage when the cluster is upgraded. LIFs that are down: vserver1:lif_0,vserver1:lif_465,vserver1:lif_175,vserver1:lif_341,
 
Action: Before upgrading, bring all SAN and NVMe LIFs up using the 'network interface modify { -data-protocol fcp|iscsi|fc-nvme|nvme-tcp } -status-admin up' command.
  • Attempts to delete the FC LIFs fails.

Example:

net int delete -vserver vserver1 -lif lif_0
(network interface delete)

Error: command failed: LIF "lif_0" could not be deleted because it is enabled. To disable the LIF, use the "network interface modify" command to change the LIF's "status-admin" setting to "down".

  • Attempting to down the FC LIF fails.

Example:

net int mod -vserver vserver1 -lif lif_0 -status-admin down
(network interface modify)

Error: command failed: Vserver does not exist
