A customer's storage administrator Informs you about the deactivated Automatic Switchover (AUSO) feature on their MetroCluster IP environment.

What Information would you tell your customer in this scenario?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The AUSO feature is a MetroCluster functionality that enables an automatic switchover to the surviving site in the event of a disaster that affects one site1.

The AUSO feature is only available in MetroCluster FC configurations, which use Fibre Channel (FC) switches and FC-to-SAS bridges to connect the nodes and disk shelves across sites1.

MetroCluster IP configurations, which use Ethernet switches and network adapters to connect the nodes and disk shelves across sites, do not support the AUSO feature2.

Instead, MetroCluster IP configurations use the ONTAP Mediator service, which is a software component that monitors the health and connectivity of the MetroCluster nodes and initiates a Mediator-assisted unplanned switchover when a disaster occurs3.

The Mediator-assisted unplanned switchover is similar to the AUSO feature, but it requires the ONTAP Mediator service to be configured and running on a separate host3.

Therefore, you would tell your customer that the AUSO feature is not available in MetroCluster IP installations by design, and that they need to use the ONTAP Mediator service instead for disaster recovery.Reference:

I'm not convinced about option D being right; it seems like a configuration issue would prevent activation, not allow it.

Could it be that a faulty link caused the AUSO to deactivate? I feel like I saw a question like that in practice, which makes option C sound plausible.

Got it, this is about troubleshooting a deactivated AUSO feature in a MetroCluster IP setup. I think I know the right approach here, but I'll double-check the options to make sure I provide the customer with the correct information.

Whoa, this is a new one for me. I'm not too familiar with the AUSO feature in MetroCluster IP environments. I'll need to read through the options carefully and try to piece together the best response for the customer.

Okay, let's see here. The AUSO feature is designed to automatically switch over in a MetroCluster IP setup, so if it's deactivated, that's definitely an issue. I'll need to analyze the possible reasons and provide the best solution to the customer.
