Using e0M as Cluster Management Interface port ?

Hi,

We are configuring a FAS6280 in cluster mode. When we created the cluster on first node, we choosed e0M as cluster management interface port. It works well. In case of HA failover, the cluster_mgmt is linked to a0a, a data ifgrp and not e0M on the second node. We can't do a migrate to node2/e0M. But it works with node2/a0a which is not connected to network admin switch...

We find that e0M on node1 has data role whereas node2 has node-mgmt role

Is there a solution ? Does someone else use e0M as cluster management interface port ?
