You might need to upgrade an RCF file on a MetroCluster IP switch. For example, an ONTAP upgrade or a switch firmware upgrade both require a new RCF file.
Before you begin
If you are installing new switch firmware, you must install the switch firmware before upgrading the RCF file.
About this task
This procedure disrupts traffic on the switch where the RCF file is upgraded. Traffic will resume once the new RCF file is applied.
Verify the health of the configuration.
Verify that the MetroCluster components are healthy: metrocluster check run
Example
dpgqa-mcc-funct-8040-0403_siteA::*> metrocluster check run ----
Result
The operation runs in the background.
After the metrocluster check run operation completes, run metrocluster check show to view the results.
Result
After approximately five minutes, the following results are displayed:
----------- dpgqa-mcc-funct-8040-0403_siteA::*> metrocluster check show Last Checked On: 4/7/2019 21:15:05 Component Result ------------------- --------- nodes ok lifs ok config-replication ok aggregates warning clusters ok connections not-applicable volumes ok 7 entries were displayed.
To check the status of the running MetroCluster check operation, use the command: metrocluster operation history show -job-id 38
Verify that there are no health alerts: system health alert show
Prepare the IP switches for the application of the new RCF files.
Follow the steps in the section for your switch vendor from the MetroCluster IP Installation and Configuration guide.
