Hi, Team,
We have a new two-node switchless cluster installed with FAS system- FAS8020 with ONTAP-9.1P2. While looking into the cluster, we found that and
System ACP Connectivity: Inband Active
systems have two stacks, one with IOM6 Disk Shelves and another with IOM3 Disk shelf. we found below error regarding ABCP.
In-Band ACP is enabled. But
1. Associated IOM3 module is not supported in in-band configuration. Upgrade to IOM6 or later.
2. For existing IOM6 Modules firmware-update-required.
Here I have some questions ;
1. As IOM3 doesn't support IBACP, we would require replacing with IOM6 or later?
2. can't we run IBACP for IOM6 and OOBACP for IOM3 combined in the same system?
3. If we don't wish to upgrade IOM3 to IOM6, we only left to use OOBACP? This will require all ethernet cabling again?
4. If we get IOM3 upgraded to IOM6. Do we need to update the firmware on IOM6 again?
Regards,
Khalid Anwar
