Hi all,
i have a strech metrocluster composed like that :
- 2 FAS 8020
- 2 DS2246 (24x900) mirrored
- 2 DS2246 (15x900) not mirrored
As this is a "strech", there is no ATTO, only many fibers between them.
It is connected using e0e and e0f (1 Gbps)
Two SVM on each controller : first is using e0e as home port, e0f as failover, second is the opposite
We'd like to go 10 Gbps and then using e0a and e0b.
First of all : can i plugged the Gbic while FAS running like in switch ? We will use twinax cable (in fact gbic are integrated in it)
Then how to migrate : add e0a and e0b into failover groups, then set e0a as home for first SVM and e0b for second then do a "network interface revert -vserver * -lif *" to have lif going to new home port ?
In fact here is what i have, i tried to understand before writing but want to be sure :
Some info about the setup, do not read all this is boring 😊 i put in red all what is important
We are talking about controler A, this will be symetrical on B

As you can see i have failover group dataA and interclusterA
-> should i add e0a and e0b in both ? Not sure intercluster need big throughput... i thing this is only management, data are going through dedicated fiber
Is the command ok : network interface failover-groups add-targets -failover-group dataA -vserver SVM-A-01 -targets clusterA-01:e0a,clusterA-01:e0b
Same for SVM-A-02 (and symetrical to do on the other controler)
Then i should change home port, is that the right command : network interface modify -vserver SVM-A-01 -lif SVM-A-01_nfs_lif1 -home-port e0a (and svm-A-02 with port e0b)
And then if i should do that for intercluster :
With this command ? network interface modify -vserver clusterA -lif clusterA-01-ic1 -home-port e0A (and also ic2 with e0b)
Is all of that doable while running ? I guess yes as i only add more ports, then migrate home... The question is more important about can i plug the cable while running !
And then, at least, i guess i should remove e0e and e0f from failover group where there is now e0a and e0b
Hope this was not to complicated to read, i tried to work the best by myself to only have a few questions
thanks a lot
