2620 external adp

brook — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:23:35 GMT

I install one fas2620 with one ds212c shelf. Ontap version is 9.3P4.

When I key "node run -node node1 sysconfig -r".

I noticed internal disk is ADP，but external disk is not use ADP.

How can I do something to use ADP in external disk? Or ADP is not support external disk?

Thanks!!

According to HWU this is supported (up to 24 drives) but factory shipment rules may differ or shelf was ordered separately from controller. Also I'm not sure what happens when internal and external drives are different. If all drives are the same, youo may consider reinstalling it to get full 24 drives ADP; check HWU whether your configuration is supported.
