To restore your system to full operation, you must verify the LIfs, check cluster health, and return the failed part to NetApp.

Step 1: Verify LIFs and and check cluster health

Before returning the replacement node to service, you should verify that the LIFs are on their home ports, check the cluster health, and reset automatic giveback.

Steps

  1. Verify that the logical interfaces are reporting to their home server and ports: network interface show -is-home false

    If any LIFs are listed as false, revert them to their home ports: network interface revert -vserver * -lif *

  2. Check the health of your cluster. See the How to perform a cluster health check with a script in ONTAP KB article for more information.

  3. If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it: storage failover modify -node local -auto-giveback true

Step 2: Return the failed part to NetApp

Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit. See the Part Return and Replacements page for further information.
