OK, it was FW37 which introduced it; I had feeling FW38 was not correct J
In this case this is the latest version.

"The AT-FCX I/O module can be upgraded nondisruptively if the storage system meets either of these two configuration requirements:"
we have FW38, but what is CPLD v.24 - and how do I query my current rev?
thanks

thanks - I'm reviewing the 8.1 (RC Aug 2011) upgrade guide - will the AT-FCX we have present a disruption to our NDU to 8.1RC2 plan? - ours show up in netapp auto support as fw.38
- You need to update firmware for AT-FC-based or AT-FC2-based disk shelves. ??
Client services might encounter delays accessing data when disk shelf firmware is updated to AT-
FC or AT-FC2 modules. To prevent data loss, all session-oriented services must be terminated before you begin an update procedure.
For these conditions, disruptive upgrades are recommended.

Sort of. Use
ifconfig na03-vif0-205 partner na04-vif0-205
instead. That will add the partner interface to the running config without messing with the IP address.
Is your hostname added to the interface twice as “`hostname`-na03-vif0-205” in the ifconfig makes it look? With that statement the host file would have an entry for an interface named na03-na03-vif0-205.
Also, note that in 8.x that vif has been deprecated to ifgrp instead so you’ll want to update your rc files accordingly after the upgrade, otherwise OnTap will complain about it when it boots. It’ll still honor the vif command however.

I found and corrected the typo in the rc file - now the check passes on the rc files, but not the running config.
Is it safe/recommended to reissue the
ifconfig na03-vif0-205 `hostname`-na03-vif0-205 netmask 255.255.255.192 partner na04-vif0-205 up
to update the partner in the running config?
Or is there a better method?
thanks

Verify the RC files on both controllers. You can ignore the c0x interfaces, but the tool is saying you’ll have an issue with this VIF here: NO PARTNER FOR na04-vif0-205 (17.25.104.23) ON na04 in /etc/rc
Make sure the ifconfig statement in both controllers RC files for that interface have the partner interface specified in the statement.

Thanks for the feedback Steve,
I'm also running the netapp tool to check HA prior to failover:
Are these partner network errors valid? Someone in the community forums said they are bogus

Hi Fletcher,
I only have a subset of answers relating to your Toasters inquiry, but I thought I’d share what I can...
According to the upgrade guide for 8.1RC2 (attached to this e-mail), a NDU from 7.3.5.1P3 to 8.1RC2 is supported:
From page 15:
“Nondisruptive upgrades to releases in the Data ONTAP 8.1 7-Mode release family are supported
from the following releases:
• Any 8.0.x release
• 7.3.2 and later 7.3.x releases”
Good luck!
