hi Community, sorry if my question is to basic.. but any command or any way to check the ports available to add a new stack in a netapp storage using the CLI?
Hi @wolfkiler ,
I assume that you are asking about how to check the SAS ports available to add a new disk shelf stack to NetApp ONTAP based storage.
If so you can use the command "storage port show" this will list the SAS ports and those shown as "enabled" and "offline" are available for use.
There is some doco here: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9141//storage-port-show.html
An Example of an AFFA300 that has one shelf stack connected is as below:
cluster1::> storage port showSpeedNode Port Type (Gb/s) State Status------------------ ---- ---- ------ -------- ---------------node1 0a SAS 12 enabled online 0b SAS 0 enabled offline 0c SAS 0 enabled offline 0d SAS 12 enabled onlinenode2 0a SAS 12 enabled online 0b SAS 0 enabled offline 0c SAS 0 enabled offline 0d SAS 12 enabled online
