You just need "ifconfig na03-vif205 partner na04-vif0-205", without the rest of parameters. It is safe as far as my experience goes. ________________________________________ From: toasters-bounces@teaparty.net [toasters-bounces@teaparty.net] On Behalf Of Fletcher Cocquyt [fcocquyt@stanford.edu] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 03:03 To: Chris Muellner Cc: toasters@teaparty.net Subject: Re: NDU from 7.3.5.1P3 to 8.1RC2 supported?
I found and corrected the typo in the rc file - now the check passes on the rc files, but not the running config. Is it safe/recommended to reissue the
ifconfig na03-vif0-205 `hostname`-na03-vif0-205 netmask 255.255.255.192 partner na04-vif0-205 up
to update the partner in the running config?
Or is there a better method?
thanks -- Fletcher

Verify the RC files on both controllers. You can ignore the c0x interfaces, but the tool is saying you’ll have an issue with this VIF here: NO PARTNER FOR na04-vif0-205 (17.25.104.23) ON na04 in /etc/rc
Make sure the ifconfig statement in both controllers RC files for that interface have the partner interface specified in the statement.

Thanks for the feedback Steve,
I'm also running the netapp tool to check HA prior to failover: Are these partner network errors valid? Someone in the community forums said they are bogus

Hi Fletcher,
I only have a subset of answers relating to your Toasters inquiry, but I thought I’d share what I can...
According to the upgrade guide for 8.1RC2 (attached to this e-mail), a NDU from 7.3.5.1P3 to 8.1RC2 is supported:
From page 15:
“Nondisruptive upgrades to releases in the Data ONTAP 8.1 7-Mode release family are supported from the following releases: • Any 8.0.x release • 7.3.2 and later 7.3.x releases”
Good luck! Steve <upgrade.pdf>
