Issue

  • After transitioning from 4-node MCC FC to 8-node MCC IP, below error is received when creating data aggregates. 
    Error: command failed: Cannot create the aggregate because node "node1" is not fully configured for MetroCluster operations. MetroCluster configuration operations might be in progress. Wait a few minutes, then try the command again.
  • MCC check shows the following warnings.  
    Cluster1::*> metrocluster check show
