Completing the transition

To complete the transition you must verify the operation of the new MetroCluster IP configuration.

  1. Verify the MetroCluster IP configuration.

    You must perform this step on each cluster in advanced privilege mode.

    The following example shows the output for cluster_A.

    cluster_A::> cluster show
Node                 Health  Eligibility   Epsilon
-------------------- ------- ------------  ------------
node_A_1-IP          true    true          false
node_A_2-IP          true    true          false
2 entries were displayed.

cluster_A::>

    The following example shows the output for cluster_B.

    cluster_B::> cluster show
Node                 Health  Eligibility   Epsilon
-------------------- ------- ------------  ------------
node_B_1-IP          true    true          false
node_B_2-IP          true    true          false
2 entries were displayed.

cluster_B::>

  2. Enable cluster HA and storage failover.

    You must perform this step on each cluster.

  3. Verify that cluster HA capability is enabled.

    cluster_A::> cluster ha show
High Availability Configured: true

cluster_A::>


cluster_A::> storage  failover show
                              Takeover
Node           Partner        Possible State Description
-------------- -------------- -------- -------------------------------------
node_A_1-IP    node_A_2-IP    true     Connected to node_A_2-IP
node_A_2-IP    node_A_1-IP    true     Connected to node_A_1-IP
2 entries were displayed.

cluster_A::>

  4. Disable MetroCluster transition mode.

    1. Change to the advanced privilege level: set -privilege advanced

    2. Disable transition mode:metrocluster transition disable

    3. Return to the admin privilege level: set -privilege admin

    cluster_A::*> metrocluster transition disable

cluster_A::*>

  5. Verify that transition is disabled:metrocluster transition show-mode

    You must perform these steps on both clusters.

    cluster_A::> metrocluster transition show-mode
Transition Mode
--------------------------
not-enabled

cluster_A::>
    cluster_B::> metrocluster transition show-mode
Transition Mode
--------------------------
not-enabled

cluster_B::>

  6. If you have an eight-node configuration, you must repeat the entire procedure starting from Prepare for transition from a MetroCluster FC to a MetroCluster IP configuration for each of the FC DR groups.
