can't choose port e1a and e1b

Hi all,

First of all I am new to ontap. I have setup an single node cluster ASA-C250.

Ports e0c and e0d are used for the cluster interconnect network.

Ports e1a and e1b are connected to a Juniper switch. Now I want to configure a SVM with iSCSI as Access protocol. But for some reason I can the ports e1a,e1b . I have the same issue when I want to add thes ports to the Default Broadcast domain

dacs-cluster01::> network port broadcast-domain add-ports -ipspace Default -broadcast-domain Default -ports dacs-cluster01-01:e1a,dacs-cluster01-01:e1b,dacs-cluster01-02:e1a,dacs-cluster01-02:e1b Error: command failed: can't find port

According to Hardware Universe, an ASA C250, with an X1153 100GbE card, should be installed in slot 2....not slot 1. Slot 1 is reserved for an NVMe storage card. I would start here.

The partnumber is 111-04588. According to the Hardware Universe there are 2 categories, Networking and NVMe storage. What’s the difference? We’re talking about the same card, so does that mean I can also use this type of card to connect to something else?

Hello, this card (X1153) can be used in slot 1 for attaching external storage such as an NS224 disk shelf; and/or it can be used in slot 2 for front-end 100GbE networking.

OK, thank you for your support. Tomorrow I’ll move the card to the other slot and let you know if that solves the issue.

Moving the card to slot 2 solved the problem. Thank you very much !!
