Aggregate on both cluster sides not unique
Switchover/Switchback

Issue

Both cluster in a MetroCluster own aggregates with not unique names
After switchover the surviving side (cluster2) owns all aggregates but renames the remote duplicate ones
When trying to rename the aggregate you might see the error:

Error: command failed: Specified aggregate resides on the remote cluster. Execute command from that cluster.

After switchback the surviving side (cluster2) still shows outdated information with the renamed aggregate name
- Example: aggr_01_renamed_20190916183817_1944209513
cluster1 shows correct (original) name
Manually renaming still not possible

The aggregate looks like this during switchover

Cluster02::> storage aggregate show -cluster *
