NetApp NVRAM5 card in slot 3 is not supported on FAS3020 after upgrade to OnTap 7.351

After upgrading to Ontap 7.351 I now receive error.

NetApp NVRAM5 card (PN X3145A) in slot 3 is not supported on model FAS3020.

This is being reported in both FAS3020c in the cluster.

Anyone else seen this issue?

(Looks similar to bug iD 199189)

Was not reporting this error in OnTap 7.3.3

System Configuration Guide for ONTAP 7.3.5 (none for .1 yet) says slot 1 for singel & fabric metro cluster, slot 3 for local/metro (non-fabric) cluster. You might have hit a bug? get in touch with NGS.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The error is mine.

I was doing a complete ground up reinstall of OnTap and had not yet installed the license for clustering.

As soon as the license is installed, the error goes away.
