Node Morgan2" has taken over Morgan 1

mickdon — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:59:30 GMT

Hi guys, when i logged on the ontap system manager this morning, this is the message that was on my overview "Node "Morgan02" has taken over node "Morgan01". ssh into the management and check

first command

Morgan::> system health subsystem show
Subsystem Health
----------------- ------------------
SAS-connect ok
Environment ok
Memory ok
Service-Processor ok
Switch-Health ok
CIFS-NDO ok
Motherboard ok
IO ok
MetroCluster ok
MetroCluster_Node ok
FHM-Switch ok
FHM-Bridge ok
SAS-connect_Cluster
ok
13 entries were displayed.

Second, i tried cluster peer health show:

This table is currently empty.

Warning: Unable to list entries on node Morgan-01. RPC: Couldn't make
connection [from mgwd on node "Morgan-02" (VSID: -1) to mgwd at
169.254.26.183]

Any help will be greatly appreciated to troubleshoot this issue

first off, this isn't a place for P1 cases, please contact netapp support.

second, what's the output of the following:

cluster show

storage failover show

system node show -fields uptime

And anything in the logs? (event log show)

Hi Spinninja,

Thanks for your help. I agree that it’s a p1 case and I should be contacting support. However, I don’t have that access at the moment. Below are the output you requested:

MorganLib::> cluster show

MorganLib-01 false true
MorganLib-02 true true
2 entries were displayed.

MorganLib::> storage failover show

MorganLib::> system node show -fields uptime

Thank you kind Sir

Looks like you for sure had an unplanned failover/takeover of node 1. Something on the node failed or caused a panic.

I would review the event log to see what could have happened before you do the give back. You can connect to the SP/BMC and see what the current state of the node is by running "system console". it might just be holding at "waiting for giveback" or dead.

You can also run some commands from the SP/BMC to see what could have happened to the node.

from the SP CLUSTER-01> prompt you can run "events all" or "events latest 100" to see the 100 most recent events.

Best option though is to open a ticket with support and work with them to do the giveback when you can.

Thank you @SpindleNinja ... Our support ended last month and management doesn't want to pay for it even though I presented a case for them to -- I hope they would listen because i'm already loosing it and letting them know today how important it is to our architecture.

Anyways pardon my frustratration! pwwwwwwwwwww... breath , breath ... thanks, I needed to vent!

I got logs from the sp: I highlighted the most recent ones

Re: Node Morgan2" has taken over Morgan 1

parisi — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 13:45:51 GMT

"auto-giveback deferred" usually means that the automatic giveback was interrupted by something in the system that would prevent non-disruptive giveback. Usually it's a CIFS/SMB lock. Sometimes, it's something more serious, such as a hardware issue.

The RDB output you see is due to the partner node not being online - there's no working RDB instance on that node, as it's not currently up. That's expected.

"event log show" would tell you *why* the autogiveback failed. Specifically:

::*> event log show -message-name cf.fsm.autoGiveback*

If you don't see messages in the CLI, it's possible the event log rolled over, so you can view Autosupport for events around that time.

But a support case can help guide you through this process.

Sorry for the delay. are you still in failover? That log doesn't sound pretty.

can you also run "sp status -v" from the SP on 01?

and related to what Parisi said, on 02 from the cluster shell. what's the output of "storage failover show-giveback".

Hi @parisi There was a power outage, which was confirmed by the even logs.

I was able to get them both back on by reading @SpindleNinja 's suggestion. Connected to the sp console ==>and used '?' to find my way around it. checked the logs and the status of the node. finally, powercycled it and everything seems to be working fine now. I checked the health of both nodes and they are great... .fingers cross hope this folks can pay for the support quickly.

Thanks for your help

Hi @SpindleNinja Thanks for your help. We are running at full capacity now... thanks to your help. I was able to connect to the sp and got it running from there.

checked the health and all seem to be fine. I'm keeping a keen eye on it though.. but so far so good...thank you kind sir

No problem!
