Error create cluster

[Sebastian_Antunez]

Hello Guys

We have had to restart a storage with Ontap 9.12.1P3 which was sent to default cleaning disks, configurations.

The problem is that when creating the cluster this message appears.

Unused cluster ports exist in the cluster. One or more ports may not be in the “healthy” state, or may be incorrectly assigned to the “Cluster” Ipspace. Correct any issues, and then try the command again.

How can I solve this issue since I need to reconfigure the storage.

Thanks

Easy:

Make sure that the platform ports used for Cluster Network are plugged incorrectly and have link

Reboot the nodes. It should auto-generate the Cluster LIFs

Harder:

Manually create the Cluster LIFs. Verify on hwu.netapp.com which ports your platform uses for cluster ports.

net int create -vserver Cluster -auto true -lif clus1 -home-node local -home-port e0a -failover-policy local-only 

net int create -vserver Cluster -auto true -lif clus2 -home-node local -home-port e0b -failover-policy local-only 

Just an example. you have not posted enough info for exact command help

Thanks
