Not showing active/active partner

[stanleyj42]

I have two groups of filers.  One set is in my production location and another is in DR.  When you look at the properties of my production filers they show the active partner inside of operations manager.  When I look at my dr filers the active/active partner is empty. 

The DR filers in system manager are showing as an HA Pair.  Is there a setting im missing somewhere in OPs manager or do I have something configured wrong on my filers.  The status for the filers is green.  Thanks.

Running oncommand 5.0

run the "dfm host diag" on the dfm server and verify the difference between the production and dr.

thank you

Thank you for the reply but I'm sorry if this sounds a little silly but where is that exactly?  Under storage tools I ran the diagnose connectivity and the only difference I see it my dr filers show NONE under network connectivity>network where as my prod systems show the subnet they live on with (scanned) out beside it.

please issue the "dfm host diag <filer>" at the CMD as administrator of windows or unix server.

thank you

issue the command "dfm host list" too.

The "host diag" command is the same as diagnose connectivity so the only setting that's showing different is that network option.  Dang it!  I have no idea how that's gets populated or if that even the reason why my controllers are showing in an active/active set.

When I run the list command it says Active/Active Controller with the hostname out beside it.

Thanks again AK.

AK,

I was able to now get all the diag settings to match but im still not showing my DR system as a cluster.  When I go to the cluster console I have this error "Cannot determine [filername] partners.

I guess its getting to be support ticket time.. 

[AGUMADAVALLI]

can you check the "cf monitor" and "cf status" on the filers of the pair please? this may give some insight to the situation.

thank you

The last thing, i can tell is if the mangement vlan and dfm server is different, you may experience this behavior.

Follow the below link and correct the snmp strings too.
