Issue

Fri Feb 03 21:48:56 -0600 [netapp1-01: mgwd: vsdr.net.IPInDiffVserver:error]: Cannot create LIF LIF1 with IP address 10.192.168.24 in Vserver SVM2-mc because another LIF with the same IP exists in another Vserver.
Fri Feb 03 21:49:42 -0600 [netapp1-01: crs: callhome.dr.apply.failed:error]: Call home for DR CONFIG REPLICATION FAILED

  • LIF associated with the message is a stale entry on the destination

    • Destination cluster unable to create LIF:
      Vserver: SVM2-mc
      LIF: LIF1
      IP: 10.192.168.24

      When looking at the network interface information we see the destination 
      cluster has an existing LIF in different vserver:

      Vserver: SVM1-mc
      LIF: LIF1
      IP: 10.192.168.24

      While on the source cluster has the network interface information 
      correlating with the EMS alert:

      Vserver: SVM2
      LIF: LIF1
      IP: 10.192.168.24

  • LIF1 created on source under SVM1 and properly synced to destination SVM1-mc
  • Deleted LIF1 on source SVM1 and created same LIF1 on SVM2 on source
  • Destination never deleted LIF1 on SVM1 causing the duplicate IP messages
  • Metrocluster vserver show degraded
  • Metrocluster check LIF degraded
