Adding controllers in DFM throwing error

lachu — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:35:57 GMT

Hello Team,

I am trying to add some netapp 7 mode controllers to my DFM version 3.2. But I am getting error of network latency.

All the controllers are using Natted IP's. Any thoughts on this.

DFM 3.2 is probably 8+ years old, and I'm not sure what eversion of 7-mode you are running.

The only two support versions left are the following

7-mode - 8.2.x

Oncommand = 5.2.2

You need to at least upgrade OCUM

Ontap version is 8.1.2.

We already have some controllers with 8.1.4 which is configured in DFM. But those are with direct IP's; not natted.

Our concern is with Natted ip. Can a contoller with Natted IP be added to DFM.

I'm not sure I understand, you have a private IP for the controller on separate network?

Yes.
