Why does the MetroCluster Switchover command take longer in 9.5 and later on a MetroCluster IP?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.5 and later
- MetroCluster IP
- Switchover
Answer
- This is due to executing healing directly after negotiated switchover workflow.
- In addition, the remote nodes will no longer halt and a switchback can be executed without any additional steps.
- More information can be found in the MetroCluster management and disaster recovery guide.
Note: The time used for the switchover process itself as well as the client impact remains unchanged.
