ONTAP MetroCluster

Verifying the ha-config state of components

Contributors netapp-aoife netapp-martyh netapp-driley netapp-folivia netapp-thomi netapp-aherbin

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.

Caution

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:

Before you begin

Verify that the system is in Maintenance mode.

Steps
  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Boot the node to ONTAP:

    boot_ontap

  5. Repeat this entire procedure to verify the HA state on each node in the MetroCluster configuration.
