The local node returns ownership of the aggregates and volumes to the partner node after you resolve any issues on the partner node or complete maintenance operations. In addition, the local node returns ownership when the partner node has booted up and giveback is initiated either manually or automatically.
The following process takes place in a normal giveback. In this discussion, Node A has taken over Node B. Any issues on Node B have been resolved and it is ready to resume serving data.
This initiates the process of returning ownership of Node B's aggregates and volumes from Node A back to Node B.
You can monitor the progress of the giveback with the storage failover show-giveback command.
You can use the storage failover show command to display additional details about the current failover status of the node, such as whether the node is fully functional, whether takeover is possible, and whether giveback is complete.
I/O resumes for each aggregate once giveback is complete for that aggregate; this reduces the overall outage window for each aggregate.
