Good Afternoon,
Been looking through documentation and KB's but cannot find an answer to this seemingly simple question. Currently building out an AFF-A150 for a HW refresh of an AFF-A220 running NFS for a vCenter datastore. We have two ifgroups with vlan 30 (a0a-30) on each node, with e0c/e0d as apart of each a0a on each node. Each a0a-30 has a data LIF sitting on top of it. Pretty simple.
I was reviewing the configuration of the AFF-A220 that we are replacing and realized that for some reason in the data broadcast domain, we had not only both a0a-30 ports but also both a0a ports. This is actually my first time building out a new system from scratch - is this something that is required when including a VLAN port sitting on top of an ifgroup to a failover group, including the underlying ifgroup as well? To me that doesn't make any sense, as a the data LIF, which is obviously running frames with a vlan 30 tag, could failover to an a0a port where the frames would then be dropped. Am I missing something here regarding how failover groups should be configured, or is my AFF-A220 misconfigured?
