EDITING CLUSTER-MANAGEMENT LIF

Sotognon — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:42:47 GMT

Hi all,

We have a netapp FAS2552.

I created a Cluster-management LIF with wrong name and wrong IP address.

How can I edit this LIF with correct informations?

Awaiting for your feedback.

BR,

i believe:

route show -vserver cluster_name 

network interface show -vserver cluster_name 

network interface rename -vserver cluster_name -lif cluster_mgmt -newname new_cluster_mgmt_lif 

network interface modify -vserver cluster_name -lif new_cluster_mgmt_lif -address 10.0.0.2 -netmask 255.255.255.0 # thats the new address and mask

route create -vserver cluster_name -destination 0.0.0.0/0 -gateway 10.0.0.1 -metric 20    # that the new gateway address

route delete -vserver cluster_name -destination 0.0.0.0/0 -gateway 192.168.1.1    # thats the old address from route show command

i don't have a simulator here to check on. but have you tried these ?

hi.

i merged the two threads as i saw the duplication. and noticed you also asked about the ipspace for that interface.

i think you can't change the ipspace of the Vserver object that hosts the MGMT interfaces (the cluster_name SVM) it have to stay in the default one.

i was looking at this years back and prtty sure it was not possible. also don't see it possible here (you can't change any SVM IPSpace post creation) :

https://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4182.pdf

i do encourage you also to have a read on this above DOC for the ipspace typical use cases. as it's very rear for someone that is not service provider to need it and can create some pain.....
