Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • MetroCluster IP

Issue

  • While replacing the motherboard of a node in the 4-node metrocluster, an issue occurred where all CNA ports were recognized as FC ports, causing the intercluster LIF composed of these CNA ports to be unable to communicate
  • After applying the following KB solution to change all FC ports back to CNA ports, the intercluster LIF has returned to normal
  • Although the intercluster LIF has returned to normal, the metrocluster status after replacing the motherboard are displayed as follows
Cluster_B::*> metrocluster show

Errors: Required mirrored non-root aggregates were not found in cluster "Cluster_B". MetroCluster configuration requires at least 2 mirrored non-root aggregates that are home, with at least 20GB of free space, in "online" state before running the configure command.

Node Name: Cluster_B-02
Type of Check: dr-mirroring-on
Cluster Name: Cluster_B
Result of the Check: warning
Additional Information/Recovery Steps: Node's DR mirroring is not enabled. Check the RDMA Interconnect connectivity to its DR partner, run the "metrocluster node show" command to verify the node and its DR partner are up and normal, then enable the DR mirroring with the (privilege: diag) "metrocluster interconnect mirror modify -node <node> -partner-type DR -mirror-oper-status online" command.
 
Node Name: Cluster_B-02
Type of Check: dr-mirroring-op-state
Cluster Name: Cluster_B
Result of the Check: warning
Additional Information/Recovery Steps: Node's DR mirroring is not online. Check the RDMA connectivity to its DR partner, run the "metrocluster node show" command to verify the node and its DR partner are up and normal, then bring the DR mirroring online with the (privilege: diag) "metrocluster interconnect mirror modify -node <node> -partner-type DR -mirror-oper-status online" command.
