Install or upgrade the Reference Configuration File (RCF)

Summary

In step 2: Configure Ports, first step here:

"On cluster switch cs1, shut down the ports connected to the cluster ports of the nodes.

cs1(config)# interface eth1/1/1-2,eth1/7-8

cs1(config-if-range)# shutdown"

There has been a request through technical case 2010146084 for a clarification/warning that this needs to be done for all connected cluster ports or you may experience undesirable results or possible OOQ CLAM issues if you isolate cluster network connections.

We have KBs on this subject but would like to have this clarification/warning made on the doc itself. https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/OHW/OHW-KBs/Node_out_of_quorum_when_migrating_cluster_lif_during_switch_OS_upgrade
