Issue

  • MetroCluster switchover or switchback operation fails and metrocluster operation history shows:
Failed to validate the node and cluster components before the switchback operation.
CL02 (non-overridable veto): The Vserver configuration state was set to "degraded" because configuration replication failed. Reason: MetroCluster Vserver stream operation failed. Run the "metrocluster vserver show -configuration-state degraded -fields corrective-action" command to view detailed recovery information. The configuration replication operation will be retried and the Vserver configuration state might change.
  • The metrocluster vserver show output shows the reason for failure as:
Unrecoverable error during configuration replication, requires manual intervention. Error: Cannot find ports in IPspace "Default" on Node "CL01-N01" for placing LIF "CL01-N01_LIF01" in Vserver "SVM01_CL01".
  • The network port show output shows that there are ports available in ipspace Default for the LIF.
  • The event logs may report the following:

[CL01-N01: mgwd: misconfig.lif.info.lost:notice]: LIF "CL01-N01_LIF01" in Vserver "SVM01_CL01-mc" incorrectly placed needs manual recovery. Reason: "MetroCluster DR node "CL01-N01" is offline. The LIF "CL01-N01_LIF01" belonging to Vserver "SVM01_CL01-mc"  will be placed on the HA partner node "CL01-N02".".
