Old Netapp is Cluster Interconnect Problem

pointshop — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:43:40 GMT

I have an older Fas270C in our dev area. What a workhorse, it is still going after 7 years. We have had a problem come up. The First volume failed and caused us to Force Failover. We had spares, but I guess there is something special about the very first disk. New drive in there and it has rebuilt. The device is up and data serving fine. The parter controller will not come back with: cf giveback.

We also swapped the controller for the parter controller. Just to make sure the partner controller failed. We checked IPs and both sides' IPs are up and fine. We have iSCSI running over both and data is flowing.

This looks like our main issue: cf.nm.nicReset:warning]: Initiating soft reset on Cluster Interconnect card 0 due to rendezvous jammed

Got any ideas how to diagnose this?

cf monitor

TAKEOVER 10:44:00, partner 'storm1', cluster monitor enabled

storm2(takeover)> cf giveback

Partner not waiting for giveback, giveback cancelled.

To do a giveback without checking for partner readiness, please either set option "cf.giveback.check.partner" to "off" before doing "cf giveback" again, or do "cf giveback -f".

The first choice disables checking for all future "cf giveback", until it's turned back to "on". The second choice is good for this giveback only.

Many thanks for your timely help, I've been troubled for a long time for this question, If do not patch microcode upgrades . It frequently happen?
