In the layer-2 netowrk/vserver, from any LIF, I am not able to ping any hosts in the same network. Everything else seems working fine. Can you please advice?
net ping -vserver laywer-2-vserver -lif laywer-2-vserver-lifx -destination 10.192.30.110
laywer-2-vserver -lifx = 10.192.30.11, ex

Did you try adding route?
onyx fjord
Seconded.
Check that you have a route to that subnet.

Currently, there is no such route for routing traffics between IP's in the same subnet. We are able to mount NFS from clients all in the same subnet, and everything works fine.
Do I have to have the route even all IP interfaces are all in such layer-2 subnet in order to be able to ping each other?

what is the netmask on each lif? is the switch setup correct -> is the right access VLAN assigned to the switchport or trunk? Are the LIFs in the same broadcast domain?
tranquil bobcat
To answer your question, /24 is the netmask on each lif.
Again, they are all in layer2 network, so, switch is not involved, upon my understanding. ports are all in the same broadcast domain.
So, it's like I cannot net ping from 10.192.30.11 to 10.192.30.110

are they connected to the same switch? Try running "system node run -node * options lldp.enable on"; wait about three minutes, then: network device-discovery show ; broadcast-domain show
If they cannot ping each other, something is not set correctly.

As I said many times, all IP interfaces, including LIF's on the netapp cluster and clients, are all in the same layer2 network, so, connections between them don't go through any switch.
I can ping from clients to LIF's though, but not the other way around.

Alright.
I have some questions
Layer 2 devices
Hubs
Switches
Network cards
And bridges
Are these direct connect? If not, pick the one above they're connected to
tranquil bobcat
It is virtual environment, so, the clients are VM's, and NFS datastores are presented to vCenter via LIF's.

There is always a switch unless you are direct connected, in which case you will not be able to ping and you will not get failover.
Even with VMware, there is vSwitch0 or even Virtual Distributed switches. They are there.
If you want help...you need to better describe your environment. A lot of people here can/will help. Your comments make it impossible to assist
tranquil bobcat
You are right, there should be Virtual Distributed switches, and settings there may have something to do with the question I am asking here. I have the access to vCenter(may be with limitations) but, unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to find out switches, and what the settings are.
