Thanks for your replies.
This is a CVO instance. There is no e0M port in the instance.
There are 2 ports e0a and e0b.
As per the documentation in the https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/occm/reference_networking_azure.html
"Note that Cloud Manager creates an SVM management LIF on HA pairs, but not on single node systems in Azure.".
For all the below steps vsadmin has been unlocked and correct credentials are used.
- Now we created a Local CVO instance in Azure. We checked the SVM management LIF role = data,data-protocol = none, firewall-policy = mgmt.
With this configuration, we are able to connect to the SVM. Ping works.
- In the customer CVO environment, role = data, data-protocol = Cifs,NFs,Fcache, firewall-policy = mgmt. is set.
With this configuration we were unable to SSH to the SVM Lif. Ping works.
Want to create a management only Lif for the SVM in the customer environment with these options LIF role = data,data-protocol = none, firewall-policy = mgmt.
We were unable to create the management only Lif. Neither in the current management Lif, we are able to disable the protocol from Cifs,NFS, fcache to none.
How do I create a new management only Lif for SVM in CVO? How do I get a free IP address for assigning to the Lif?
If you want to suggest to network interface modify, please check in CVO if this option is enabled. We could not find it.
- There were other data lifs which were automatically created in the Local CVO instance. By default the Lif settings are role = data, data-protocol = Cifs,NFs,Fcache, firewall-policy = none. We enabled mgmt role in the Lif also. Tried SSH to this Lif. It is not working. Another suggestion to correctly have the same failover-group set for this Lif as in the SVM management Lif. That was also done, however still same problem.
- Coming back to hardware FAS box, we created a SVM Lif, with protocol = Cifs,NFs,Fcache, both data and mgmt is enabled for the Lif. We are able to the SVM through this Lif. Conclusion, FAS and CVO Azure SVM Lifs behavior are different.
Bottom line:
How do I create a new management only Lif for the Customers SVM in CVO?
Or, in the Customers SVM in CVO, we want to modify the protocol in Mgmt Lif from CIfs, NFs, Fcache to None. How can we do that?
