You must be aware of the following additional requirements:

  • The Tiebreaker software is installed on a third site, which allows the software to distinguish between an inter-switch link (ISL) failure (when inter-site links are down) and a site failure. Your host system must meet certain requirements before you can install or upgrade the Tiebreaker software to monitor the MetroCluster configuration.

  • You must have "root" privileges to install MetroCluster Tiebreaker software and the dependant packages.

  • You can only use one MetroCluster Tiebreaker monitor per MetroCluster configuration to avoid any conflict with multiple Tiebreaker monitors.

  • When selecting the Network Time Protocol (NTP) source for the Tiebreaker software, you must use a local NTP source. The Tiebreaker software should not use the same source as the MetroCluster sites that the Tiebreaker software monitors.

  • Disk capacity: 8 GB

Firewall:

 
  • Direct access for setting up AutoSupport messages
  • SSH (port 22/TCP), HTTPS (port 443/TCP), and ping (ICMP)

Use the command to see if the service is running: systemctl status netapp-metrocluster-tiebreaker-software
If not, run the systemctl start netapp-metrocluster-tiebreaker-software command to make it run
If the service is not shown, try reinstalling Tiebreaker
