Disk Qualification Package OnTAP 9.7

[TMADOCTHOMAS]

Hello,

I recently stood up a new NetApp system that is running 9.7. As one of my routine setup steps I tried to check the DQP version with this command:

run -node <node> -command rdfile /etc/qual_devices_v3

....as described in the following article ...

https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/diskqual/

However this didn't work in 9.7. I got the following:

/etc/qual_devices_v3: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

if it's not there. do the download of the latest. 

storage firmware download –node * -package-url http://<web-server>/path/qual_devices.zip 

[TMADOCTHOMAS]

Interesting, okay @SpindleNinja . Is it normal for a brand new system not to have it?

[SpindleNinja]

Yep, not unheard of.     Config advisor or AIQ catches it if it's missing and i'll just add it. 

[TMADOCTHOMAS]

Okay thanks for the tip @SpindleNinja !

Hmm what does an ls for /etc show at the node shell? Try downloading it like the steps show. If you get stuck we can help from support on a Zoom.

@paul_stejskal here it is. As you can see, no qual_devices. If this is actually normal for a new system it's no biggie to add it, I just expected it would be there in a fresh install.

node run -node pobarnacl01p_node01 -command "priv set diag; ls /etc"

Sorry my reply got blocked. The file is literally a text file so it is safe to download.

[TMADOCTHOMAS]

Makes sense! No concern with installing it, just curious why it wasn't there initially.

Hi, does that mean that if this file not there I can install non-oem drives? And if it is there then ONTAP checks its model\serial and restrict from attaching any other than original drive?
