Online or offline MetroCluster IP interface ports

When you perform maintenance tasks, you might need to bring a MetroCluster IP interface port offline or online.

You can use the following steps to offline or online a MetroCluster IP interface port.

Steps

1. Set the privilege level to advanced.

   set -privilege advanced

   Example output

   Cluster A_1::> set -privilege advanced
   Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when
            directed to do so by NetApp personnel.

2. Take the MetroCluster IP interface port offline.

   system ha interconnect link off -node <node_name> -link <link_num, 0 or 1>

   Example output

   Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect link off -node node-a1 -link 0

   1. Verify the MetroCluster IP interface is offline.

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show

      Example output

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show
                                     Physical  Link
                      Link           Layer     Layer      Physical   Physical  Active
      Node            Monitor  Port  State     State       Link Up  Link Down  Link
      --------------  -------  ----  --------  ---------  --------  ---------  ------
      node-a1        off
                                  0  disabled  down              4          3  false
                                  1  linkup    active            4          2  true
      node-a2        off
                                  0  linkup    active            4          2  true
                                  1  linkup    active            4          2  true

3. Bring the MetroCluster IP interface port online.

   system ha interconnect link on -node <node_name> -link <link_num, 0 or 1>

   Example output

   Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect link on -node node-a1 -link 0

   1. Verify the MetroCluster IP interface port is online.

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show

      Example output

      Cluster_A1::*> system ha interconnect port show
                                     Physical  Link
                      Link           Layer     Layer      Physical   Physical  Active
      Node            Monitor  Port  State     State       Link Up  Link Down  Link
      --------------  -------  ----  --------  ---------  --------  ---------  ------
      node-a1        off
                                  0  linkup    active            5          3  true
                                  1  linkup    active            4          2  true
      node-a2        off
                                  0  linkup    active            4          2  true
                                  1  linkup    active            4          2  true
