Hi Eugene, I booted FAS to maintenance mode, upgrade disk ownership to software, then removed ownership on all disk on 0a channel by:
disk remove_ownership 0a.*
and then assign them back
disk assign 0a.*
Now I have all disks in spare pool, no disk is marked as "Partner". I have successfully connect second path, so I have all shelves in dualpath configuration:
>storage show disk –p
PRIMARY PORT SECONDARY PORT SHELF BAY

Everything seems to be fine now, but I have feeling that filer is still looking for any partner. I have upgraded OnTap from version 7.2 to version 7.3.3 and during update it writes, something like "No partner responded, shelf update failed". Now I have:
> version
NetApp Release 7.3.3: Thu Mar 11 22:43:52 PST 2010
but following warning message continuously shows:
[disk.fw.downrevWarning:warning]: 42 disks have downrev firmware that you need to update.
Maybe I forgot to mention important thing. I have NVRAM5 card connected in PCI slot 3, it is for Active/Active configuration. For single configuration, it should be in PCI slot 1.
But I have exactly the same filer FAS3050 with exactly same cards and configuration and when I installed it a few months ago, there was no such problems which I have now.
Should I place NVRAM 5 card into PCI slot 1 ? How can I "update" firmware for 42 disks ?
Thanks,
Michal
