Unable to update ACP on shelf running inband

Stormont — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:10:53 GMT

We have a DS2246 connected to an FAS8200 operating in in-band mode and the cluster thinks needs to be updated, but all attempts to do so never update it. (although Protocol Version and Firmware versions of all zeros seems weird). What other options do we have to update this?

Thanks, so yeah. That is a bit odd... I would try a IOM re-seat, but open a ticket with support as a CYA.

Re: Unable to update ACP on shelf running inband

Stormont — Wed, 06 May 2020 01:51:08 GMT

They suggested I switch to out of band mode and then try the update again. I'm not sure if the shelf was ever cabled for OOB mode, so I'm not sure what that might do.

Was it ever headswapped from something with e0P?

Go for the toggle though, there shouldn't be any ill effects.

Re: Unable to update ACP on shelf running inband

Stormont — Wed, 06 May 2020 04:40:08 GMT

No, it was not (we purchased it new and then added it to the cluster)

Have they ever had an upgrade before?

Also, if you just run "storage shelf acp module show -fields firmware-version" does it show any firmware versions?

And see if it shows up here too:

node run -node node-3 -command sysconfig -a

Re: Unable to update ACP on shelf running inband

Stormont — Wed, 06 May 2020 20:33:59 GMT

I’m a bit confused by this one. For a different shelf (a DS212), “storage shelf acp module show -fields firmware-version” shows the following:

node firmware-version

--------- ----------------

Oriole-01 02.12

But “sysconfig –a” shows a different version

“Shelf 1: DS212-12 Firmware rev. IOM12 A: 0250 IOM12 B: 0250”

Shouldn’t both commands show some form of “0250” instead of “02.12” for the one and “0250” for the other?

For the shelf showing all “00”, “storage shelf acp module show -fields firmware-version” shows the following:

node firmware-version

--------- ----------------

Oriole-03 00.00

While “sysconfig –a” shows:

Shelf 6000832241: DS2246 Firmware rev. IOM6 A: 0191 IOM6 B: 0191

There are ACP firmware and IOM firmware. They are different things. In-band ACP requires ACP firmware at least 2.09. 2.12 is the latest ACP firmware version for IOM6 as of now.

I was told that the shelf most likely won't go to OOB mode if it is not cabled that way and that a reset of each ACP module is the next thing to try. Based on the output below, are these the correct commands?

Based on that, would we be looking at running these commands:

node run -node Oriole-03

priv set diag

For a given Module A: sasadmin expander_cli 2d.00.A “acpmgr_tp 3 0”

For a given Module B: sasadmin expander_cli 2d.00.B “acpmgr_tp 3 1”

node run -node Oriole-04

For a given Module A: sasadmin expander_cli 2c.00.A “acpmgr_tp 3 0”

For a given Module B: sasadmin expander_cli 2c.00.B “acpmgr_tp 3 1”

So looks like, you have been suggested to reset the SES bit. I have hardly seen this work, but certainly give it a try.

In addition, 0212 ACP FW is bundled with ONTAP 9.7 and above. I wonder, why the ACP did not upgrade for you, this would require further investigation from support.

This bug was supposedly created to resolve the issue we are seeing:

https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=1050364

However, there are apparently times when it doesn't get out of the 0x9 state, so bug https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=1310583 was created to fix that.

One thing I did find is that all three shelves that are still running 0191 are connected to the same adapter (one DS2246 on one loop connected to 2c and 2d and two DS4246 shelves connected to 2a and 2b). Since this is on an FAS8200 that doesn't support OOB and I can't imagine that both adapters in both nodes need to be physically reseated, we must have the bug where they won't get out of the 0x9 state.

Hi Gents,

I encountered this issue on FAS8040 with DS4246 shelves running OnTap 9.7. Seem this is known bug for in-band configuration. Work-around is to configure out-of-band acp, it should trigger automatic update if you have new packages. Give it few minutes and then switch in to in-band.

Have a nice day,

Kristian
