Hello Folks,

I took back a old Netapp from one of your client, a FAS2554. I need to recover this old boy, to use it at a lab.

The thing is, it is unhealthy . It is a 2 controller chassis.

I began by update the both nodes from Ontap version 8.3.2 to 9.1P20. (to have a UI that I can access. TLS 1.0)

I have now another problem in my cluster. My node 1 doesn't come online in the cluster .

bcomd, crs.

And I think I know why. Cause of thoses interclusters ports that doesn't show up Up/up but up/-

What do you guys think about it ?

Just for your information :
Ports 0b and 0a from node one are conencted to to node 2 port 0a and 0b

Ports e0e and e0f from node one are connected to node 2 port e0e and e0f
