Verifying the ha-config state of components
In a MetroCluster IP configuration, you must verify that the ha-config state of the controller and chassis components is set to “mccip” so that they boot up properly. Although this value should be preconfigured on systems received from the factory, you should still verify the setting before proceeding.
If the HA state of the controller module and chassis is incorrect, you cannot configure the MetroCluster without re-initializing the node. You must correct the setting using this procedure, and then initialize the system by using one of the following procedures:
|
Verify that the system is in Maintenance mode.
-
In Maintenance mode, display the HA state of the controller module and chassis:
ha-config show
The correct HA state depends on your MetroCluster configuration.
MetroCluster configuration type
HA state for all components…
Eight or four node MetroCluster FC configuration
mcc
Two-node MetroCluster FC configuration
mcc-2n
Eight or four node MetroCluster IP configuration
mccip
-
If the displayed system state of the controller is not correct, set the correct HA state for your configuration on the controller module:
MetroCluster configuration type
Command
Eight or four node MetroCluster FC configuration
ha-config modify controller mcc
Two-node MetroCluster FC configuration
ha-config modify controller mcc-2n
Eight or four node MetroCluster IP configuration
ha-config modify controller mccip
-
If the displayed system state of the chassis is not correct, set the correct HA state for your configuration on the chassis:
MetroCluster configuration type
Command
Eight or four node MetroCluster FC configuration
ha-config modify chassis mcc
Two-node MetroCluster FC configuration
ha-config modify chassis mcc-2n
Eight or four node MetroCluster IP configuration
ha-config modify chassis mccip
-
Boot the node to ONTAP:
boot_ontap
-
Repeat this entire procedure to verify the HA state on each node in the MetroCluster configuration.
