Risk Summary

The boot argument variable bootarg.gb.override.lmgr.veto and bootarg.gb.override.sms.veto are set to True on one or more nodes.

​​​​​​Impact:
  • The boot arguments are used by ONTAPs Automated Non-Disruptive Upgrade (ANDU) process and should be unset once ANDU has completed.
  • It is necessary to unset the bootargs if ANDU is not in progress. 
  • If left set, it will automatically override vetoes during a failover giveback which could cause a service disruption.
