Do nodes halt automatically after a Negotiated Switchover?
Applies to
- MetroCluster IP
- Fabric MetroCluster
- Stretch MetroCluster
- ONTAP 9
Answer
The answer depends on your configuration:
| MetroCluster Type | Result after Negotiated Switchover (NSO) |
| MetroCluster IP (ONTAP 9.5+) | The nodes at the disaster site do not halt |
| MetroCluster IP (ONTAP 9.4 & below) | The nodes at the disaster site halt |
| Fabric MetroCluster | The node(s) at the disaster site halt(s) |
| Stretch MetroCluster | The node at the disaster site halts |
