Description: Redundant configuration is missing for cluster switches.
Corrective Actions:
1) Ensure that a redundant pair of cluster switches exists in the network.
2) Ensure that cluster ports are connected to both switches.
3) Enable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)/Industy Standard Discovery Protocol(ISDP)
on switches, if you previously disabled it. CDP/ISDP is enabled by default.
Refer to your switch documentation for instructions.
4) If Data ONTAP cannot automatically discover a switch, use the "system cluster-switch create"
command to configure discovery and monitoring of the switch.
