LIFs that need to be reverted to their home ports

Robert_ran — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:17:07 GMT

I need to revert these LIFs back to their home ports. However, several critical applications and clients are currently connected to them. In the past, I encountered issues when reverting LIFs without first considering the location of the associated volumes.

To minimize risk and avoid any potential disruption, can the LIFs and their associated volumes remain on the same HA pair within the cluster during the revert process?

We would appreciate any recommendations or best practices for performing the LIF revert safely before proceeding.

thanks,

Since they are going back to their home ports, you can safely assume they (destination ports) have the right right protocols and policies. Ensure when when you revert to their home ports you do them during quieter time (some applications/DBs) doesn't like the blip if they are busy. Direct access to volumes (where LIF and volume hosted on same node) will be quick and seamless.
