What is the primary purpose of LIF migration?

• A. To move the LIF to another port or node to maintain access
• B. To change the LIF IP address
• C. To delete the LIF
• D. To convert LIF to iSCSI

Answer: (A)

LIF migration is all about preserving access by relocating a logical interface to another port or node within the cluster. The goal is to keep client connectivity uninterrupted when the current path is unavailable or during maintenance, by moving the LIF to an alternate port or node that can service the traffic. This enables high availability and non-disruptive operations. It’s not about changing the IP address, deleting the LIF, or converting it to a different protocol like iSCSI; those are separate actions with different purposes.
