Unable to migrate cluster lif to new port, network command not found when trying to run it locally.

Hey there everyone having some more trouble/fun with my organizations A300, mainly I'm taking it from a two-node switchless cluster and migrating it to a cluster switch (Nexus 3232C) . Im reading through the 215-13127_C0 pdf but have hit a weird problem. After verifying everything is good up till the 10th step where I am asked to migrate the lifs to the new destination port.

I run: run -node FILER05

then I run: network interface migrate -vserver cluster -lif lif-name source-node FILER05
-destination-node FILER05 -destination-port e1a

Which returns an error saying it doesnt recognize "network", I see you have to run the command for each node but It doesnt appear when I do a "?" command.

I know i'm doing something wrong, just not sure what lol. Any info is appreciated!!!

I figured it out was running it wrong:

network interface migrate -vserver cluster -lif n1_clus1 -source-node n1 –destination-node n1 -destination-port e4e

I got confused by the error, it meant I can't take a LIF from one node and place it on another. LIF must be migrated to the same node.

I doubt the doc says to do that in the way your describe. I've done this a bunch and that is not correct.

It is correct in that the command does not exist (at the node level). That is a cluster command.

Please provide a LINK to the doc you are using. It sounds incorrect (maybe dated)

Ok...Looking at step 10:

10. Migrate the n1_clus1 and n2_clus1 LIFs to the physical ports of their destination nodes:

 network interface migrate -vserver cluster -lif lif-name source-node source-node-name -destination-port destination-port-name

You must execute the command for each local node as shown in the following example:

 cluster::*> network interface migrate -vserver cluster -lif n1_clus1 -source-node n1 –destination-node n1 -destination-port e4e

All cluster commands.

Searching the doc for "node run" shows nothing. Evening searching for "run" only shows "running". So...not sure where you were looking.

The thing is if I run that command I get an error saying:

command failed: Migration of cluster LIFs must be done from local node.

Admittedly good sir I am no NetApp expert, so any earnest help would be appreciated.

This error:
command failed: Migration of cluster LIFs must be done from local node.

Means that you must be logged into the node of the cluster LIF's home port (node-mgmt SSH, SSH to node's SP/BMC or serial console access) to perform the migrate command for a cluster LIF. It's a "safety" feature.
