You can manually initiate a giveback on a node in an HA pair to return storage to the original owner after completing maintenance or resolving any issues that caused the takeover.
| If you want to... | Use this command... |
|---|---|
| Give back storage to a partner node | storage failover giveback -ofnode nodename |
| Give back storage even if the partner is not in the waiting for giveback mode | storage failover giveback -ofnode nodename -require-partner-waiting false Do not use this option unless a longer client outage is acceptable. |
| Give back storage even if processes are vetoing the giveback operation (force the giveback) | storage failover giveback -ofnode nodename -override-vetoes true Use of this option can potentially lead to longer client outage, or aggregates and volumes not coming online after the giveback. |
| Give back only the CFO aggregates (the root aggregate) | storage failover giveback -ofnode nodename -only-cfo-aggregates true |
| Monitor the progress of giveback after you issue the giveback command | storage failover show-giveback |
