Issue

  • After planned switchover/switchback, System Manager reports Node "node2" has no logged-in initiators.:

ONTAP System Manager reports initiators not logged into one node after switchback

  • Specific initiators report they are only connected to LIF of one node:

ONTAP System Manager reports initiators not logged into one node after switchback

  • Over CLI, initiators show wwpn-logged-in to LIF which shows not connected in GUI:
vserver fcp ping-initiator show -vserver svm_windows -wwpn 21:00:34:80:0d:12:34:56 -lif lif4 -node node2
 
        Vserver: svm_windows
    Remote WWPN: 21:00:34:80:0d:12:34:56
       LIF Name: lif4
           Node: node2
    Ping Status: reachable
Extended Status: wwpn-logged-in
  • Initiators also show logged into the LIF with vserver fcp initiator show:

          Logical           Port     Initiator    Initiator
Vserver   Interface         Address  WWNN         WWPN         Igroup
--------- ----------------- -------- ------------ ------------ ---------------
svm_windows lif4 20800 20:00:34:80:0d:3d:31:66 21:00:34:80:0d:12:34:56 igroup1, Igroup2

  • When a LIF is bounced, EMS reports initiators logging into the node, but the GUI still reports the same issue:
[node2: fct_tpd_work_thread_0: scsitarget.fct.portLogin:notice]: Login at target FC port: '0h' by initiator port: '21:00:34:80:0d:12:34:56' address 0x20800. The target virtual port is: 'NetApp FC Target Port (8324) svm_windows:lif4'.
  • Windows shows all expected paths to both nodes with mpclaim.exe --v c:\multipathconfig.txt:
