Issue

  • During a head upgrade all SVMs are entering a stopped state.
  • Vserver start command fails with error:

    Failed to determine if the remote cluster has done a switchover. Reason :
    Internal error occurred on node "ClusterA-02" in cluster "ClusterA".
    Details: (FCVI Interconnect might be down. For fabric configurations, use
    "storage switch add" to start monitoring the switches. Then run "storage switch
    show -port" to verify that the status of the used port is "online", and run
    "storage switch show -san-config" to verify that the fabric configuration
    (vsan/zone) is appropriate. For Stretch configurations, verify the FCVI
    cabling.).
