API acquisition during failover is disabled (Harvest)

paso — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:05:34 GMT

We are using NetApp Harvest 1.4.1.

The other day, FAS840 failed over due to hardware maintenance.
During the takeover, Harvest's information retrieval was down on all hosts in the same cluster.

The same goes for giveback.

Is this a specification?
Is there a solution if I want to continue API acquisition for hosts that are not experiencing the failure?

Harvest 1.6 and earlier were out of support for a while. I would encourage you to install Harvest 2.0 the open source software: https://github.com/NetApp/harvest.

Thank you for the quick answer.

I understand that 2.0 is the mainstream now.
I'll consider updating first.
