Node name            Status            Status Description
-------------------- ----------------- --------------------------------------
Node01               failed            Error: Takeover failed.
                                       Action: Use the "storage failover
                                       show-takeover" command to view the
                                       cause of takeover failure and the
                                       suggested corrective actions. When
                                       all issues are resolved, use the
                                       "storage failover takeover -ofnode
                                       Node01" command to trigger
                                       takeover.

cluster1::> storage failover show-takeover
Node       Node Status           Aggregate      Takeover Status
---------- --------------------- -------------- -------------------------------
Node01
           Optimized takeover
           by partner aborted.
                                 aggr1_data     Failed: Destination node did
                                                not online the aggregate on
                                                time.
To abort the takeover,
                                                you can giveback the
                                                aggregates that were relocated
                                                as part of the attempted
                                                takeover using the "storage
                                                failover giveback -ofnode
                                                Node01" command.  If
                                                you want to continue the
                                                takeover, address the failures
                                                and then use the "storage
                                                failover takeover -ofnode
                                                Node01" command.  If
                                                you want to continue with the
                                                takeover without addressing
                                                the failures you can do so by
                                                using the "storage failover
                                                takeover -ofnode
                                                Node01
                                                -bypass-optimization true"
                                                command.  Warning: Setting the
                                                "-bypass-optimization"
                                                parameter to true will result
                                                in a longer overall client
                                                outage during manual takeover
                                                events on a cluster system.
