Issue

  • After a switchover, the Disaster Recovery (DR) Sites FC LIFs are offline and unable to access the LUNs
  • During switchover, the FC LIF on the DR site logs in to the switch.
  • This is being refused by the switch, as it thinks the LIF on the Disaster Site is still up.

NPIV port 7/18 has same Port WWN as old port 7/38 with pid 0x32d641 as part of duplicate Port WWN detection policy.
