Unable to revert lif to its home

sroy — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:15:10 GMT

I have 1 lif that is not home and I am unable to revert it back using:

network interface revert -vserver <vserver> -lif <lif-name>

No errors are shown after the command is run, in fact no output at all.

network interface revert * tells me that 1 entries were acted on, however a network interface show -is-home false still shows it as 'Is Home - false'

The lif is Admin - up and Oper - Up.

This issue come up when I was trying to validate an OnTAP upgrade and received the advise Advice:
Ensure that LIFs are on their home node.

is the home port healthy?

I checked on that shortly after I posted .. and the answer is no.

I need to check on the SFP/cabling attached to that node to see what's up.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
