Two node cluster with intially one node: no way to create SVM for FCP

$

Hi,

 

we're transforming a 2554HA 7Mode in a 9.3P6 clustered couple of nodes.

We've disabled the HA in the original 7 Mode, assigned the disks to the second node and we've performed with success a cDOT setup of a two nodes cluster where, temporarely, there's a ghost node, the second one, that will come once the migration have been completed (it will be the node that now run 7Mode)

 

So, we've a running two cluster with one node waiting for the second.

 

We need now to migrate via FCP a VMware datastore content from the LUNs on the remaining 7 Mode controller to the new one.

 

Problem. FC SVM created, FC LIFs  ok, a couple of, LUN created, igroup created...NO MAP. There's no way to associate the igroup because there's no FC LIFs on the expected second node.

We've tried to disable cluster, SFO and so on but the issue remain. A message like that appears 'No LIF on node "" ...' with no node name between "" because, obviously, there's not yet a second node.

 

Is there a way to bypass this? 

 

I know that I could create an NFS datastore where temporarely vmotion the content but LAN is very slow and customer prefer FCP.

 

Regards
