A300 MetroCluster - Which node monitors what?

CHMOELLER — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:36:19 GMT

Hey community,

we have a two-node A300 MetroCluster. Currenty the monitoring of ATTO Bridges and Brocade-Switches is done by one node only, it monitors all 8 devices (2 ATTO, 2 Broacde per site).

What is recommended here?

"My gut" tells me that either both nodes should monitor all devices - or each node only its own devices.

Any NetApp best practices on this?

Thanks!

Each cluster would monitor the bridges and switches. For a 2-node MetroCluster, that means each node will, in fact, do this.

Is it configured automatically during MCC setup or is it necessary to manually add them?

Manually add the bridges and switches.
