Disaster Recovery
Recovering from a multi-controller or storage failure
After completing the transition, you should send an AutoSupport message indicating the end of maintenance, so automatic case creation can resume.
To resume automatic support case generation, send an Autosupport message to indicate that the maintenance is complete.
Issue the following command: system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=end
Repeat the command on the partner cluster.
