  • LACP port flapping on one node as per below EMS logs. 

Thu Aug 08 09:13:56 +1000 [Node-01: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.active:notice]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to the active state.
Thu Aug 08 09:15:20 +1000 [Node-01: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.inactive:error]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to an inactive state. The interface group is in a degraded state.
Thu Aug 08 09:18:12 +1000 [Node-01: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.active:notice]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to the active state.
Thu Aug 08 09:21:05 +1000 [Node-01: intr: net.ifgrp.lacp.link.inactive:error]: ifgrp a0a, port e0f has transitioned to an inactive state. The interface group is in a degraded state.

  • All ifgroup and physical ports are up and healthy. 
  • No errors in ifstat for port in question.
  • LACP port configuration on ONTAP is correct  as per ifconfig -vv outputs.
  • LACP configuration is correct on the switch side as well.
  • network device-discovery show outputs shows no neighbour device connected to the the port in question
