Solved: NetApp SAN - Failover Test - failed - Page 2

Hi All

I have couple of servers connected to Node1 and few other servers to Node2.

So when I do a takeover from node2 or node1 and vice versa, how can I achieve HA.

I did a test with few LUNs connected given to Win host from Node 1 and I did a takeover from Node2..

when I logged onto the Win host and noticed that all the NetApp LUNs from Node1 has been disappeared.

And when I did a giveback then I was able to see all the LUNs again.

I Want to know is there any turn around to achieve HA so that when we do takeover from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 hosts wont loose access to the storage.

thanks in advance.

zoned the server to both Filers,

installed SD and DSM..

created 2 igroups on the Win host. one for Filer 1 and other for Filer2. ( so that if 1 goes down, 2 can takeover)

made sure that each LUN had multiple paths visible under DSM.

did takeover and giveback, disabled couple of paths. havent lost any access to the LUNs.
