How can I perform a Takeover and Giveback from the NetApp CLI?

Problem:

Solution:

Perform the steps below (in this example we are taking over SAN node 2):

1. sancluster1::> storage failover show (check controllers healthy and ready)

2. sancluster1::> network interface show (check interface are home)

3. sancluster1::> storage failover takeover -ofnode san_node_2

Warning: A takeover will be initiated. Once the partner node reboots, a giveback will be automatically initiated. Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y

4. sancluster1::> storage failover show (keep checking this until status shows complete)

5. sancluster1::> storage failover giveback -fromnode san_node_2 (Giveback will be automatic, but this is the manual step in case it does not)

6. sancluster1::> storage failover show
