Yah, I’d love to stay with OOB if possible, but AFAIK, you’re not allowed to mix ACP modes within a 4-node cluster f.ex. and I have
to add a pair of AFF-A300s to this existing 2-node cluster and they do not have OOB-ACP anymore :-/
Will try to revert on the second controller, let’s see if that helps. Can’t hurt.

Betreff: Re: Switching to ACP inband connectivity
Well, thats a bummer!
I was fooling around on 9.0. The shipping version for ACP was 2.09, I was able to go back.
I would say...don't spend a lot of time with it. Your best bet is to simply leave ACP out-of-band.
I was not at all successful in doing anything until I got the FW back to 2.09.
I guess you could try running the "storage download acp –R" on both nodes to make sure?

The thing is, they wanted to close the issue already telling me to subscribe to the BURT and get the info from there once it’s solved.
Anyways, I talked with support on the phone and he was reading your instructions down there and said that we should try that.
I’m not really sure how to downgrade ACP to a specific version, I’ve downloaded 2.09 and installed it, but it’s not really using it for the installation.
What I can do is I can revert to the version shipped with Ontap 9.1P2, which is what I did now by running:
storage download acp –R
but it did only install FW 2.10 again, but afterwards, it looked like this:
Node Module Name State

nodeA 1.22.B firmware-update-required

2.13.A active
2.13.B firmware-update-required
1.21.B active
1.21.A active
24 entries were displayed.
So I thought let’s do this again and it will fix the other half of the ACPs too, but it didn’t.
But at least half of them are fixed now J

Yep. internal burt, but a burt none the less. save them from digging it up.
Let us know how you make out. I was under a crunch putting a system into production and could not fool around with it any more.
Thanks

Alright, thanks – I’m opening a case now, cannot see the details of the BURT, though, but will refer support to it.

I have seen this! Support was unable to reproduce for me. I will dig up a case number later if you like.
I will give you two options:
1. Open a support case with netapp and refer to the BURT 1050364 / Case 2006580487
2. The ultimate fix that I did was this:
-> Downgrade *all* IOM firmware to 2.09. Wait for it to stabilize.
-> Convert to in-band. Wait for it to stabilize and confirm IN-Band
-> Convert to out-of-band and upgrade to 2.10 firmware.
-> Wait for it to stabilize and then convert to out-of-band
I got to believe there may be some race condition where the 2.08 -> 2.10 firmware is not completing 100%.
If you use the out-of-band, all looks ok, but switch to in-band and not so much.
The thought is something special happens on 2.09 that fixes everything allowing the upgrade to 2.10
If possible, please open a case and refer to the data above. I think it is in everyones best interest NetApp gets to the bottom of this to fix.
Thanks
