Cluster and storage switches

Complete the migration from Nexus 5596 switches to Nexus 3132Q-V switches

Contributors netapp-yvonneo

Complete the following steps to finalize the Nexus 5596 switches migration to Nexus 3132Q-V switches.

Steps
  1. Verify that the ISL connections are up on the 3132Q-V switch C2:

    show port-channel summary

    Show example

    Ports Eth1/31 and Eth1/32 should indicate (P), meaning that both the ISL ports are up in the port-channel:

    C1# show port-channel summary
    Flags: D - Down         P - Up in port-channel (members)
           I - Individual   H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
           s - Suspended    r - Module-removed
           S - Switched     R - Routed
           U - Up (port-channel)
           M - Not in use. Min-links not met
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Group Port-        Type   Protocol  Member Ports
          Channel
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1     Po1(SU)      Eth    LACP      Eth1/31(P)   Eth1/32(P)
  2. On all nodes, bring up all the cluster interconnect ports connected to the new 3132Q-V switch C1:

    network port modify

    Show example

    The following example shows all the cluster interconnect ports being brought up for n1 and n2 on the 3132Q-V switch C1:

    cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0a -up-admin true
    cluster::*> network port modify -node n1 -port e0d -up-admin true
    cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0a -up-admin true
    cluster::*> network port modify -node n2 -port e0d -up-admin true
  3. Verify the status of the cluster node port:

    network port show

    Show example

    The following example verifies that all cluster interconnect ports on all nodes on the new 3132Q-V switch C1 are up:

    cluster::*> network port show -role cluster
      (network port show)
    Node: n1
                                                                           Ignore

    8 entries were displayed.
  4. On all nodes, revert the specific cluster LIFs to their home ports:

    network interface revert

    Show example

    The following example shows the specific cluster LIFs being reverted to their home ports on nodes n1 and n2:

    cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus1
    cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n1_clus4
    cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus1
    cluster::*> network interface revert -vserver Cluster -lif n2_clus4
  5. Verify that the interface is home:

    network interface show

    Show example

    The following example shows the status of cluster interconnect interfaces is up and Is home for n1 and n2:

    cluster::*> network interface show -role cluster
     (network interface show)

    8 entries were displayed.
  6. Verify the connectivity of the remote cluster interfaces:

ONTAP 9.9.1 and later

You can use the network interface check cluster-connectivity command to start an accessibility check for cluster connectivity and then display the details:

network interface check cluster-connectivity start and network interface check cluster-connectivity show

cluster1::*> network interface check cluster-connectivity start

NOTE: Wait for a number of seconds before running the show command to display the details.

cluster1::*> network interface check cluster-connectivity show

All ONTAP releases

For all ONTAP releases, you can also use the cluster ping-cluster -node <name> command to check the connectivity:

cluster ping-cluster -node <name>

cluster::*> cluster ping-cluster -node n1

  1. Expand the cluster by adding nodes to the Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switches.

  2. Display the information about the devices in your configuration:

    • network device-discovery show

    • network port show -role cluster

    • network interface show -role cluster

    • system cluster-switch show

      Show example

      The following examples show nodes n3 and n4 with 40 GbE cluster ports connected to ports e1/7 and e1/8, respectively on both the Nexus 3132Q-V cluster switches, and both nodes have joined the cluster. The 40 GbE cluster interconnect ports used are e4a and e4e.

  3. Remove the replaced Nexus 5596 if they are not automatically removed:

    system cluster-switch delete

    Show example

    The following example shows how to remove the Nexus 5596:

    cluster::> system cluster-switch delete -device CL1
    cluster::> system cluster-switch delete -device CL2
  4. Configure clusters clus1 and clus2 to auto revert on each node and confirm.

    Show example
    cluster::*> network interface modify -vserver node1 -lif clus1 -auto-revert true
    cluster::*> network interface modify -vserver node1 -lif clus2 -auto-revert true
    cluster::*> network interface modify -vserver node2 -lif clus1 -auto-revert true
    cluster::*> network interface modify -vserver node2 -lif clus2 -auto-revert true
  5. Verify that the proper cluster switches are monitored:

    system cluster-switch show

    Show example
    cluster::> system cluster-switch show
    
    Switch                      Type               Address          Model

  6. If you suppressed automatic case creation, reenable it by invoking an AutoSupport message:

    system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END
