Issue

  • The connection status for Mediator reports 'false'
Local::*> metrocluster configuration-settings mediator show
Mediator IP     Port    Node                    Configuration Connection
                                                Status        Status
--------------- ------- ----------------------- ------------- -----------
4.3.2.1
                31784   node001_1                true          false
                        node002_1                true          false
                        node001_2                true          false
                        node002_2                true          false
  • Verified Mediator ports (31784 & 3260) to be allowed in the firewall
  • Removing and reinclude the mediator service on the cluster didn't resolve the issue
  • Verified ONTAP mediator services  to be healthy
