AW: X1144A - No link
by Alexander Griesser 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hi Mike, Thanks, I had a similar issue with 1G copper SFPs in the past – but that doesn’t seem to apply here since the 40G ports are on an expansion slot and do not seem to be CNA capable: *> cna_flash update all NOTE: The flash update will take up to 30 minutes per update. (Current 2 chip(s) in the system) Do not interrupt power during the update, or you risk flash image corruption. Version (5.0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0e. Version (5.… [View More]0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0g. -> While the expansion ports are in slot 2. Also, the upgrade to Ontap 9.1 did not solve the issue – will check the cables now when I’m in the datacenter.

I ended up having to apply a firmware update to the UTA2 system, IIRC, from maintenance mode. I have nothing that leads me to believe that is the case here, but it sounds somewhat close. The updated firmware was actually on the system with the code it shipped with, but needed to be manually applied. If all else fails, there's always a support ticket :) HTH Mike On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 7:39 AM, Alexander Griesser <AGriesser(a)anexia-it.com<mailto:AGriesser@anexia-it.com>> wrote: Those are optical cables, that got shipped with the card and the transceivers.

Since 9.1 has already been released, I’ll upgrade this system to 9.1 and see if that changes anything – maybe there’s a reason why they call it RC ☺ Best, Alexander Griesser Head of Systems Operations ANEXIA Internetdienstleistungs GmbH E-Mail: AGriesser(a)anexia-it.com<mailto:AGriesser@anexia-it.com> Web: http://www.anexia-it.com<http://www.anexia-it.com/> Anschrift Hauptsitz Klagenfurt: Feldkirchnerstraße 140, 9020 Klagenfurt Geschäftsführer: Alexander Windbichler Firmenbuch: FN 289918a | Gerichtsstand: Klagenfurt | UID-Nummer: AT U63216601 Von: tmac [mailto:tmacmd@gmail.com<mailto:tmacmd@gmail.com>] Gesendet: Freitag, 27.

Are you trying to use copper or optical? According to HWU, the X1144A as QSFP+ slots and the cable ends look identical to the SAS cables. The NetApp end should be any supported copper cable with a QSFP+ end or an optical transciever (X65402A, mfg 332-00389). The optical transciver will have the QSFP+ going into the filer and exposing the MPO end for your optical cable Since it looks like you are trying to use Optical, are you *sure* the optical transcivers are the right ones for that card? --tmac Tim McCarthy, Principal Consultant Proud Member of the #NetAppATeam<https://twitter.com/NetAppATeam> I Blog at TMACsRack<https://tmacsrack.wordpress.com/> On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 8:14 AM, Alexander Griesser <AGriesser(a)anexia-it.com<mailto:AGriesser@anexia-it.com>> wrote: That’s the 2-port 40G card with QSFPs and those funny new cables, no breakout cables. http://cdn3.bigcommerce.com/s-uiigcj2/product_images/uploaded_images/mtp-ca… Best, Alexander Griesser Head of Systems Operations ANEXIA Internetdienstleistungs GmbH E-Mail: AGriesser(a)anexia-it.com<mailto:AGriesser@anexia-it.com> Web: http://www.anexia-it.com<http://www.anexia-it.com/> Anschrift Hauptsitz Klagenfurt: Feldkirchnerstraße 140, 9020 Klagenfurt Geschäftsführer: Alexander Windbichler Firmenbuch: FN 289918a | Gerichtsstand: Klagenfurt | UID-Nummer: AT U63216601 Von: tmac [mailto:tmacmd@gmail.com<mailto:tmacmd@gmail.com>] Gesendet: Freitag, 27.

super secret flags
by Peter D. Gray 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi people Just out of idle curiosity, am I the only netapp admin who does not know about the super secret flags to allow snapmirror to actually work at reasonable speed? We were running 8.3.2 cluster mode, and spent weeks looking into why our snapmirrors to our remote site ran so slowly. We were often 2 days behind over 40G networks. Obviously, we focussed on network issues. And we wasted a lot of time. We could make no sense of the problem at all since sometimes it appears to work ok, the … [View More]

System attention LED

Hi there, I have two filers (1x FAS2240 and 1x FAS2650) and both have the system attention LED lit and I have no idea why. `System health status show` as well as config advisor are both A-OK and there are no visible indicators why this LED is still lit. Any idea how to find out the root cause of this LED on the front bezel or how I can check or maybe reset the status of the LED through CLI?

Volume Encryption Hardware
by Stephen Stocke 26 Jan '17

26 Jan '17

Hello I'm trying to find an official list of which hardware supports the new 9.1 Netapp Volume Encryption (NVE) feature. I've checked HWU and can't see anything that shows NVE compatibility. I've also tried IMT but I've never been able to get along with that tool. Specifically, I'm trying to find out if the FAS2500 series or new FAS2650 platforms support this feature. I've listened to TechOnTap podcast #59 in which the speakers discuss NVE but I'm now looking for the "official" … [View More]

Hi, o a V6000 with Ontap 8.2 7Mode a series of LUNs have been configured from an EMC CX4 system. It happened that randomly a couple of LUN fail on the same raid group of the CX4. The controller loose its aggregate that goes in degraded mode and a takeover start to the other node. The other node after takeover attempt to put this aggregate online but if fails because one of its lun is still missed. This panic all the systems and this should be avoided.
