Issue

  • After a physical relocation of one site of a MetroCluster an attempt to perform a switchback fails with the follow:

netapp-metro1::> metrocluster operation show
       Operation: switchback
           State: failed
      Start Time: 11/28/2024 12:51:15
        End Time: 11/28/2024 12:51:53
          Errors: Failed to validate the node and cluster components before the switchback operation.
                  netapp-metro1::netapp-metro1-01 (non-overridable veto): Unable to communicate with the remote cluster in order to transmit mirror information. Wait a few minutes, and try the command again. For further assistance, contact technical support.
                  netapp-metro1::netapp-metro1-01 (non-overridable veto): Communication error occurred. Verify that cluster peer connectivity is healthy by running "cluster peer show" and retry the operation.
