The LIFs are configured on the storage virtual machine (SVM) in the apply configuration (precutover) phase:

  • Existing 7-Mode IP addresses are created in the administrative “down” state.

  • New IP addresses are created in the administrative “up” state.

Important FC and iSCSI LIFs are not transitioned by the 7-Mode Transition Tool.
