When you perform maintenance tasks, you might need to bring a MetroCluster IP interface port offline or online.

You can use the following steps to offline or online a MetroCluster IP interface port.

Steps

  1. Set the privilege level to advanced.

    set -privilege advanced

    Example output

    Cluster A_1::> set -privilege advanced
Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when
         directed to do so by NetApp personnel.

  2. Take the MetroCluster IP interface port offline.

    system ha interconnect link off -node <node_name> -link <link_num, 0 or 1>

    Example output

    Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect link off -node node-a1 -link 0

    1. Verify the MetroCluster IP interface is offline.

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show

      Example output

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show
                               Physical  Link
                Link           Layer     Layer      Physical   Physical  Active
Node            Monitor  Port  State     State       Link Up  Link Down  Link
--------------  -------  ----  --------  ---------  --------  ---------  ------
node-a1        off
                            0  disabled  down              4          3  false
                            1  linkup    active            4          2  true
node-a2        off
                            0  linkup    active            4          2  true
                            1  linkup    active            4          2  true

  3. Bring the MetroCluster IP interface port online.

    system ha interconnect link on -node <node_name> -link <link_num, 0 or 1>

    Example output

    Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect link on -node node-a1 -link 0

    1. Verify the MetroCluster IP interface port is online.

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show

      Example output

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show
                               Physical  Link
                Link           Layer     Layer      Physical   Physical  Active
Node            Monitor  Port  State     State       Link Up  Link Down  Link
--------------  -------  ----  --------  ---------  --------  ---------  ------
node-a1        off
                            0  linkup    active            5          3  true
                            1  linkup    active            4          2  true
node-a2        off
                            0  linkup    active            4          2  true
                            1  linkup    active            4          2  true
