the following is issue .

when i execute the command ,

cf giveback , notice me , because of the CIFS process is alive, dont agree with me to continute , the command failed.

so that i execute the command cf giveback -f . finished the command -f option,

both of the controller is reboot, what's wrong the controller ? I read many document about FAS3220.

but the dont explain directly , so the command cf giveback -f , will reboot controller ?

It is not expected that the controller performing the giveback will reboot when issuing a cf giveback -f.

Using cf giveback -f can be disruptive as per the article below:

However if you see both nodes reboot there is likely something else going on here.
