I received this error: "vifmgr.lifs.noredundancy: No redundancy in the failover configuration for 2 LIFs...This message occurs when one or more logical interfaces (LIFs) are configured to use a failover policy that implies failover to one or more ports but have no failover targets beyond their home ports."
The error applies to the node management LIFs on the two nodes (node1_mgmt, node2_mgmt) and also the two custom replication LIFs I created (node1_replication, node2_replication). The replication LIFs are talking to a NetApp in a different datacenter.
Here are the failover settings for the node management LIFs:
Logical Home Failover Failover
Vserver Interface Node:Port Policy Group
-------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------------
Clus node1_mgmt node1:e0M local-only Management
Failover Targets: node1:e0M
node2_mgmt node2:e0M local-only Management
Failover Targets: node2:e0M
The replication LIFs have a similar config:
Logical Home Failover Failover
Vserver Interface Node:Port Policy Group
------- --------------- ------------- ---------- ---------------
Repl node1_replication_dcpn node1:e0e-202 local-only Repl_VLAN_202
Failover Targets: node1:e0e-202
node2_replication_dcpn node2:e0e-202 local-only Repl_VLAN_202
Failover Targets: node2:e0e-202
Here are the failover group settings:
Vserver Group Targets
------- ---------- --------------------------------------------
Clus Management node1:e0M, node2:e0M
Repl Repl_VLAN_202 node1:e0e-202, node2:e0e-202
As far as I can tell, the error is occurring because "Failover Targets" shows only one target for each LIF — the LIF's home port.
Is there something I've missed here? Something I need to do to tell it that it can failover those LIFs to the corresponding ports on the other node?
Or, looking at it a different way: is it even possible for management and replication (i.e. intecluster) LIFs to failover? If not, then is there something I need to change so that this alert condition will ignore these LIFs?
