Hi Jack,
I send you a message last Friday asking for more information in order to see if I could help resolve your issue.  As I haven't heard back I assume you've resolved the problem.  I would be interested in hearing the details and how we could make the experience better.  I am responding publicly as I wanted others on the list to know that your request wasn't be ignored....especially since you feel you've been left hanging.
 
If you're still experiencing problems, please gather console logs and I'll take a look.

Subject: Cluster bug

I think I found a bug in 6.5.7 on the F7XX series filer. Has to do with Cluster. When a manual CF takeover or giveback is done both filers fail over to each other fine. When a true head unit failure happens (power removed) the filers wont fail to each other. We have spent days troubleshooting this issue and the only way to get cluster to work was to boot to the same hardware and configuration with 6.4.5. We are now testing with all versions of 6.5 family to see if it exists in all versions of this family. Anyone out there experience this issue? Anyone willing to test ont here own systems?
 
Yes, I know 6.5.7 is no longer supported, yes I know the F7XX series is no longer supported. Just wish Netapp would not break working code then leave you hanging. I understand having to move on but to break a code that has worked for YEARS then not fix it is a little dishearting. Anyone from Netapp willing to test there?
 
 
Jack
