We have a active/active setup on our filers,standard loop A/loop B cabling (no multipath HA).
We had a recent event with our filers where intermittent failure of loop A did not trigger a failover to the partner. I'd like to know why that is the case. According to the Netapp failover cause and effect document at
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel727/html/ontap/cluster /failing_over/reference/r_oc_fo_failover-events.html
This event should have caused a failover.
The log message from the filer on loop A was:
Sun Jan 17 15:41:56 PST [netapp1: fci.link.break:error]: Link break detected on Fibre Channel adapter 0e.
Is there a option or timeout setting to make the failover happen
Thanks
Suresh
