About the Cluster Configuration Checker utility

NetApp provides a Cluster Configuration Checker utility that you can download and run to protect against the most common configuration causes of failover problems between clustered nodes, including

Mismatched licenses
Mismatched option settings
Incorrectly configured network interfaces
Different versions of Data ONTAP on the local and partner nodes
Differences in the cfmode settings between the two nodes

Where you can run the utility

You can run the utility, cf-config-check.cgi, as a command from a UNIX shell, or you can install the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script on a UNIX Web server and invoke it from a Web browser.
