Answer

The Auto Giveback feature allows a giveback to be done once both nodes are in a stable state. After autogiveback is done the HA pair controllers return to an active-active HA state.

  • What happens during giveback (detailed).
  • Auto Giveback can be found to be disabled in some cases, typically during Hardware replacements. 
  • Check the status of autogiveback set in the nodes with the command.
