Alright, after doing a few more tests I found out, that the problematic controller is missing some information in printenv:

 

Controller A:

LOADER-A> printenv

 

Variable Name        Value

-------------------- --------------------------------------------------

CPU_NUM_CORES        4

BOOT_CONSOLE         sp0a

BIOS_VERSION         8.3.0

BIOS_DATE            04/08/2014

Subject: FAS2240-4 and 9.1 support

 

Hey there,

 

trying to repurpose some of my older filers here and wiped them now and wanted to install with 9.1.

According to HWU, this should be supported and I’m running a few FAS2240-2 with 9.1PX already, without issues.

 

I did upgrade to 9.1P17 on two of these FAS2240-4 and after the install, one of them did not boot anymore because it said, that this platform is not supported on the release.

The second controller booted without issues and I have now netbooted 9.1P16, which shows the same behaviour:

 

Controller A:

Starting program at 0x80294e10

NetApp Data ONTAP 9.1P16

***************************************************

This platform is not supported in this release.

The system will now halt

***************************************************

 

Controller B:

Starting program at 0x80294e10

NetApp Data ONTAP 9.1P16

md0: Preloaded image <http/_NETAPP/NETBOOT/91P16/rootfs.img> 256704512 bytes at 0xffffffff81543000

The Boot Menu will be presented because an alternate boot method was specified.

 

Please choose one of the following:

Any ideas why Controller A thinks it does not support what Controller B does?

 

Best,
