VPLEX director commission command
Hello all,
I was currently testing the decommission and commission commands on a single-engine VPLEX metro system running GeoSynchrony 5.5 when I noticed that after
decommissioning the director and then commissioning it back again using the following commands:
1. VPlexcli:/> director decommission --director director-1-1-A
2. VPlexcli:/> director commission --director director-1-1-A --applycluster-settings
2.
The director gets back up and becomes part of the cluster but the VPLEX front-end ports get removed from the storage view resulting
in the host not being able to see the LUNs.
My question is: Shouldn't the -applycluster-settings flag get the ports back to the storage view or is this working as designed?
Also, when testing a director reboot scenario, is it better to use director shutdown then director commission rather than using decommission and commission?
Thank you a lot for your help!
