Migrate LIFs and data aggregates on node2 to node1

Contributors netapp-pcarriga

Before converting AFF A250 node2 to a drive shelf, you migrate the logical interfaces (LIFs) and data aggregates on node2 to node1.

Before you begin

Verify that you meet the following requirements:

  • The AFF A250 and AFF A400 controllers are running the same ONTAP release and patch version.

    Note

    • You must netboot and install the ONTAP version on each AFF A400 that is identical to the version running on the AFF A250.

    • Both the primary and backup boot image of each AFF A400 must have the same ONTAP version.

    • If the AFF A400 clusters were previously configured, you must clear any residual cluster configuration by performing a wipeconfig from the boot menu.

  • Both AFF A400 controllers are on standby at the LOADER prompt.

  • You have all the appropriate cabling on-hand.

About this task

The following steps are performed on AFF A250 node1.

Steps

  1. Access the advanced privilege level:

    set -privilege advanced

  2. Disable storage failover automatic giveback:

    storage failover modify -node node1 -auto-giveback false

  3. Disable auto-revert of the LIFs across both nodes of the HA pair:

    network interface modify -lif * -auto-revert false

  4. Display the status of all data network LIFs:

    network interface show -role data

  5. Display the status of the cluster management LIFs:

    network interface show -role cluster_mgmt

  6. Migrate all data LIFs from the storage virtual machines hosted on node2:

    network interface migrate -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name -destination-node node1 -destination-port port_name

    Note This command only migrates non-SAN LIFs. You cannot use it to migrate iSCSI and FCP LIFs.

  7. Display the status of all data LIFs in the cluster:

    network interface show -role data

  8. If any LIFs are down, set the administrative status of the LIFs to up by entering the following command, once for each LIF:

    network interface modify -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name -status-admin up

  9. Display the status of all data aggregates in the cluster:

    storage aggregate show

  10. Display failover eligibility:

    storage failover show

  11. Migrate the data aggregates on node2 to node1:

    storage aggregate relocation start -aggregate aggregate_name -node node2 -destination node1

  12. Display the status of all data aggregates in the cluster:

    storage aggregate show

  13. Display the status of all data volumes in the cluster:

    volume show

  14. Display the ha status and ownership of epsilon:

    cluster show

  15. Disable cluster ha:

    cluster ha modify -configured false

  16. Display the ha status and ownership of epsilon:

    cluster show

  17. Halt node2:

    halt -node node2 -inhibit-takeover true -ignore-quorum-warnings true
