Automatic takeover is enabled by default on all supported NetApp FAS, AFF, and ASA platforms. You might need to change the default behavior and control when automatic takeovers occur when the partner node reboots, panics, or halts.

Use this command…​

Reboots or halts

storage failover modify ‑node nodename ‑onreboot true

Panics

storage failover modify ‑node nodename ‑onpanic true
