  • MetroCluster FC to IP transition
  • vserver replication

Issue

During FC to IP transition we see the error bellow, when running metrocluster remove-dr-group -dr-group-id 1

::*> metrocluster remove-dr-group -dr-group-id 1

Warning: Nodes in the DR group that are removed from the MetroCluster configuration will lose their disaster recovery protection.

Local nodes "FC-dest-02, FC-dest-01" will be removed from the MetroCluster configuration. You must repeat the operation on
the partner cluster "FS-source" to remove the remote nodes in the DR group.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y

Info: The following preparation steps must be completed on the local and partner clusters before removing a DR group.

1. Move all data volumes to another DR group.
2. Move all MDV_CRS metadata volumes to another DR group.
3. Delete all MDV_aud metadata volumes that may exist in the DR group to be removed.
4. Delete all data aggregates in the DR group to be removed. Root aggregates are not deleted.
5. Migrate all data LIFs to home nodes in another DR group.
6. Migrate the cluster management LIF to a home node in another DR group. Node management and inter-cluster LIFs are not migrated.
7. Transfer epsilon to a node in another DR group.

The command is vetoed if the preparation steps are not completed on the local and partner clusters.

Veto checks failed on the local cluster "FC-dest".

Preparation steps were not completed for node "FC-dest-02".

Node "FC_source-01" (cluster "FC-source") has volumes and data aggregates that must be removed before removing the DR group. In cluster "FC-source", use the "storage aggregate show -node FC-source-01 -has-mroot false" command to identify the data aggregates. Use the "volume move start" command to move volumes out of the data aggregates. After the volumes have been moved, use the "storage aggregate delete" command to remove the data aggregates.
