Alert LED (!) on our NetApp V6290 system

TriNguyen — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 08:29:27 GMT

We are currently seeing an amber alert LED (!) on our NetApp V6290 system running in 7-Mode.

The system is configured as an HA pair with multiple DS2246 shelves and SAS adapters.

The system is functioning normally, but the warning LED remains active on one of the controllers.

We've already checked system status, environment, and hardware, but have not yet identified the root cause of the alert.

We are looking for suggestions on what to check next or how to clear the alert LED under 7-Mode.

Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello. It was unclear based on the picture which LED is orange. I believe it is the Chassis Attention LED. Because this system is running on end of life hardware and software, you may not find a lot of documentation. Here is a KB you can start with. The chassis LED could point to a few issues within the controller sub-system.
