High-Availability Pair Issues; Storage System In An Ha Pair Might Get Rebooted During A Controller Or Nvram Replacement; If Takeover Is Enabled For Network Interface Failure, Automatic Giveback Should Be Disabled - IBM N Series Manual

High-availability pair issues

If you are using HA pairs, you might need to familiarize yourself with these
issues.
For more information about these issues, see the IBM System Storage N series
Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode High-availability Configuration Guide.

Storage system in an HA pair might get rebooted during a controller or
NVRAM replacement
During a controller or NVRAM replacement, if the ha-config chassis and
ha-config controller values are set to non-ha, the storage system reboots after
displaying the following error message: 0 disk found.
If you encounter this error message, you need to boot the storage system into
Maintenance mode and set the ha-config chassis and ha-config controller
values to ha by performing the following steps:
1. Run the following command to check the ha-config values:
2. Run the following command to change the value of the controller:
3. Run the following command to change the chassis value:
4. Run the following command again to confirm that the ha-config values are
If takeover is enabled for network interface failure, automatic giveback
should be disabled
If you set the cf.takeover.on_network_interface_failure option to on to
enable automatic failover on network interface failures, ensure that you have
the cf.giveback.auto.enable option set to off.
If the cf.giveback.auto.enable option is set to on, a network interface failure
could result in a continuous series of takeovers and givebacks until the
network interface problem is resolved.
