Hello,   We have a system that has to be in takeover as users cannot access 10.20.4.12 on NetApp-Controller-SR2. The system needs to always be in takeover or access to this share does not work.

I am sure it is config but i find it strange it works in takeover but not on its own.   Any advise would be appreciated ... View more
