Hi Everyone, is it possible to select a certain physical port on your target cluster that your NAS lif will land on?
Thanks
Darren.

Hello. Today, there is no option to select a specific port for your Data LIFs with vserver migrate outside of REST API (see below).
ONTAP does perform connectivity checks when placing Data LIFs which should ensure clients are able to connect to the migrated SVM. Afterwards you can always move/migrate the Data LIF to a different port, if desired.

Since it's possible to choose the target aggr via REST API. Is choosing a certain target port maybe also possible via REST?

Shows what I know. I thought this was only supported with ANF, but doesn't seem to be the case.

has anyone had any success with getting a lif to land on a certain port? I am successfully running the migration via restapi backwards and forwards ( on simulators 9.12 ) but the lif wont land on a port i have stated. I do have a lif that already exists on that port so that may affect it. I will do some more playing but just wondered if anyone else had had any luck?
