Migrating a LIF

You can use Storage Manager to migrate a data LIF or a cluster management LIF to a different port on the same node or on a different node within the cluster if the source port is faulty or requires maintenance.

Before you begin

The destination node and ports must be operational and must be able to access the same network as the source port.
