Drives unavailable when all nodes of an Element cluster with EAR enabled are rebooted simultaneously
Applies to
- Element Software versions 10.0 through 11.1
- NetApp HCI
- SolidFire AFA
- Encryption At Rest (EAR)
Issue
On a cluster with Encryption At Rest enabled, one or more drives become unavailable after all nodes of a cluster are rebooted simultaneously and/or after entire cluster power off and subsequent power up event.
In some instances, this may be accompanied by multiple blockServiceUnhealthy
alerts in a cluster UI which require assistance from NetApp support to resolve.
