Then it is very possible that the gear isn’t supported by your older ONTAP version. It might not even know about your gear and/or versions. Why isn’t the gear on support? If you have a valid support account, can’t you download a more current ONTAP version and use it regardless of the non-support on the controllers?

gear isn't on support, so i'm not updating Ontap.
all the SAS shelves brand new though, so should have latest firmware, but i'll double check.
