Reverting a LIF to its home port
You can revert a LIF to its home port after it fails over or is migrated to a different port either manually or automatically. If the home port of a particular LIF is unavailable, the LIF remains at its current port and is not reverted.
About this task
If you administratively bring the home port of a LIF to the up state before setting the automatic revert option, the LIF is not returned to the home port.
The node management LIF does not automatically revert unless the value of the auto-revert option is set to true .
You must ensure that the auto-revert option is enabled for the cluster LIFs to revert to their home ports.
Revert a LIF to its home port manually or automatically:
| If you want to revert a LIF to its home port... | Then enter the following command... |
|---|---|
| Manually | network interface revert -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name |
| Automatically | network interface modify -vserver vserver_name -lif lif_name -auto-revert true |
