During a storage failover you run the storage failover show-takeover command and it displays the messages "relocating its SFO aggregate" and "CFO aggregates not attempted". How would you relocate…
The correct answer is B. Wait for the CFO aggregate to show "done" once the SFO is complete. When a 'storage failover show-takeover' command indicates 'CFO aggregates not attempted' during a failover, you should wait for the Storage Failover (SFO) process to complete, indicated by 'done', before the CFO aggregates are handled automatically.
Question
During a storage failover you run the storage failover show-takeover command and it displays the messages "relocating its SFO aggregate" and "CFO aggregates not attempted". How would you relocate the CFO aggregate?
Options
- AWait for the failed controller to come online and takeoverthe aggregate.
- BWait for the CFO aggregate to show "done" once the SFO is complete.
- CPut the CFO aggregate online to force the data aggregate to come online.
- DForce giveback of the failed controller to force that data aggregate to come online.

Why each option
When a 'storage failover show-takeover' command indicates 'CFO aggregates not attempted' during a failover, you should wait for the Storage Failover (SFO) process to complete, indicated by 'done', before the CFO aggregates are handled automatically.
Waiting for the failed controller to come online and take over the aggregate would reverse the failover process rather than completing the relocation during failover.
The message 'CFO aggregates not attempted' indicates that the system is waiting for the Storage Failover (SFO) process for other aggregates to complete successfully before it will attempt to relocate or bring online the CFO aggregates.
Manually attempting to put a CFO aggregate online while the SFO process is still underway can interrupt the automated failover sequence and potentially cause issues.
Forcing a giveback of the failed controller would initiate a return of ownership, which is the opposite of completing a failover and relocation.
