Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Data Network Switch

Description

  • Preparation for Data Network Switch replacement or upgrade.
  • Minimize business impact.
  • Since Data Network Switches may house links to Intercluster LIFs (IC LIFs) and IC LIFs cannot be migrated to another node, they can be migrated to another unaffected port on the same node. Otherwise, be prepared for the IC LIF to experience downtime during maintenance.
