Hi everyone,

I am planning to add DS2246 having IOM6 to an FAS8200 with IOM12, i want to know if this shelve is compatible and if i need to change the IOM6 to IOM12 before.

An enhancement has been made in ONTAP to allow intermixing of IOM6-based shelves with IOM12-based shelves in the same stack. Only one speed transition is allowed. For example, a single speed transition within a stack having two IOM6 shelves and two IOM12 shelves is depicted as: Controller <-> IOM6 <-> IOM6 <---> IOM12 <-> IOM12 <-> Controller NOTES: This enhancement requires: - IOM12 firmware 0260 and later - IOM12E firmware 0210 and later https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/bugs-online/product/ONTAP/BURT/1225017
