Inconsistent shelf configuration

EricJo — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:11:08 GMT

Hello everybody,

i have a issue after upgrading to Data OnTap 8.2.3.

I get the following message on my controller:

[Controller:ses.incosistent.config:CRITICAL]: Inconsistent configuration detected for shelf to host adapter, 0b

Running a FAS2240-4

Data OnTap 8.2.3

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advice

Hi,

This message occurs when the system detects that there is inconsistency in configuration for shelf connected to this host adapter.This would point to a cabling problem. Do you have access to all the disks?

Thanks

Did you try running the ConfigAdvisor tool? This is a free download from NetApp and will doubtless highlight what the issue is? Regards, Richard.

I am facing the same issue.

Mon Mar 16 20:20:11 CST [cnsznas02:ses.inconsistent.config:CRITICAL]: Inconsistent configuration detected for shelf connected to host adapter 0b.
Mon Mar 16 20:20:11 CST [cnsznas02:ses.inconsistent.config:CRITICAL]: Inconsistent configuration detected for shelf connected to host adapter , 0b.

I have ran config advisor and it doesnt point out to any issue.

Can someone please help??

Regards,

Saurabh
