Revert a LIF to its home port

12/14/2020 Contributors Download PDF of this page

You can revert a LIF to its home port after it fails over or is migrated to a different port either manually or automatically. If the home port of a particular LIF is unavailable, the LIF remains at its current port and is not reverted.

About this task

If you administratively bring the home port of a LIF to the up state before setting the automatic revert option, the LIF is not returned to the home port.
The node management LIF does not automatically revert unless the value of the "auto-revert" option is set to true.
You must ensure that the "auto-revert" option is enabled for the cluster LIFs to revert to their home ports.

Step

Revert a LIF to its home port manually or automatically:

If you want to revert a LIF to its home port…	Then enter the following command…
Manually	network interface revert -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name
Automatically	network interface modify -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name -auto-revert true

If you want to revert a LIF to its home port…

Then enter the following command…

Manually

network interface revert -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name

Automatically

network interface modify -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name -auto-revert true
