Hi Community,

I am in the middle of conducting failover testing between my two filers. I am experiencing a persistent problem everytime i failover filer from 2 and try to 'give back' it looses all interface settings. I have to manually readd my interface settings, IP's etc. by exension all my hosts connected to this storage loose connection to their respective luns

Any advice

Andre.

I would check out the /etc/hosts file.  The RC file is calling the hosts file when creating the interface.  To check and see if you have a miss confiugred host file try and replace the 'hostname' with the actual IP(will change it back later).  If it sticks across a reboot then you have something wrong with the hosts file.

Current:

ifconfig nas `hostname`-nas mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner nas

Try testing:

ifconfig nas XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX-nas mediatype auto netmask 255.255.255.0 partner nas
