At this stage in the upgrade procedure, all data aggregates should be on node1. If you're upgrading a configuration with switch-attached clusters, you need to validate that the cluster switch reference configuration file (RCF) supports the shared cluster/HA ports for the new controllers.

If you're upgrading to a two-node switchless cluster configuration, you can skip this section and go to Move non-root aggregates and NAS data LIFs back to node2.

Steps

  1. Switch to advanced privilege mode:

    set advanced

  2. Check the status of "IC RDMA":

    ha interconnect status show

    In the output, the "IC RDMA Connection" should have the status Up.

    If the "IC RDMA Connection" status is …​ Then…

    Up

    Go to Move non-root aggregates and NAS data LIFs back to node2.

    Down

    Go to Step 3.

  3. Check the cluster ports and switch RCF.

    For more information, see Connect to a switch-attached cluster.

  4. Verify that the "IC RDMA Connection" status has changed to Up:
