Creating your file...
You must identify a LIF that will be used for establishing a data connection and control connection between the node and the backup application. After identifying the LIF, you must verify that firewall and failover policies are set for the LIF.
Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, firewall policies are deprecated and wholly replaced with LIF service policies. For more information, see Configure firewall policies for LIFs. |
-
Identify the intercluster LIF hosted on the nodes by using the
network interface show
command with the-role
parameter.cluster1::> network interface show -role intercluster Logical Status Network Current Current Is Vserver Interface Admin/Oper Address/Mask Node Port Home ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------ ------------- ------- ---- cluster1 IC1 up/up 192.0.2.65/24 cluster1-1 e0a true cluster1 IC2 up/up 192.0.2.68/24 cluster1-2 e0b true
-
Ensure that the firewall policy is enabled for NDMP on the intercluster LIFs:
-
Verify that the firewall policy is enabled for NDMP by using the
system services firewall policy show
command.The following command displays the firewall policy for the intercluster LIF:
cluster1::> system services firewall policy show -policy intercluster Vserver Policy Service Allowed ------- ------------ ---------- ------------------- cluster1 intercluster dns - http - https - **ndmp 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0** ndmps - ntp - rsh - ssh - telnet - 9 entries were displayed.
-
If the firewall policy is not enabled, enable the firewall policy by using the
system services firewall policy modify
command with the-service
parameter.The following command enables firewall policy for the intercluster LIF:
cluster1::> system services firewall policy modify -vserver cluster1 -policy intercluster -service ndmp 0.0.0.0/0
-
-
Ensure that the failover policy is set appropriately for the intercluster LIFs:
-
Verify that the failover policy for the intercluster LIFs is set to
local-only
by using thenetwork interface show -failover
command.cluster1::> network interface show -failover Logical Home Failover Failover Vserver Interface Node:Port Policy Group -------- --------------- ----------------- ------------ -------- cluster1 **IC1 cluster1-1:e0a local-only Default** Failover Targets: ....... **IC2 cluster1-2:e0b local-only Default** Failover Targets: ....... cluster1-1 cluster1-1_mgmt1 cluster1-1:e0m local-only Default Failover Targets: .......
-
If the failover policy is not set appropriately, modify the failover policy by using the
network interface modify
command with the-failover-policy
parameter.cluster1::> network interface modify -vserver cluster1 -lif IC1 -failover-policy local-only
