ACP module connection-error after ONTAP 9.1 upgrade

Hi,

 

I have upgrade my FAS2554 from 8.3 to 9.1. All works fine but about every 5 minutes in the Events Log I found this debug messages:


acp.command.connect: Could not establish connection with 192.168.2.145.

acp.command.connect: Could not establish connection with 192.168.2.145.

 

I read that starting from ONTAP 9 ACP move from out-of-band to in-band for communications, but I have no idea how to switch or solve for my case.

 

Here my configurations:

cluster2::> storage shelf acp module show

I read the KB https://kb.netapp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1029778 but I have no understand if for my setup is sufficient an

 

storage shelf acp configure -is-enabled true -channel in-band

or can cause problems if firmware or similar are not at the right version.

 

Thanks

After the Data ONTAP software upgrade from 8.3.x to 9.1.Px, ONTAP might report
 that the Alternate Control Path (ACP) processor on IOM6/IOM6E is no longer
 active, and it is reported as a "connection-error."
 You can verify this issue by using the "storage shelf acp module show" command
 to display the state of all ACP processors on IOM modules.
 cluster1::> storage shelf acp module show
 Node               Module Name        State
 -----------------  -----------------  ----------------------
 cluster1-01        1.10.B             active
                     1.11.B             active
                     1.11.A             active
                     1.10.A             active
                     1.0.A              connection-error
                     1.0.B              active
 cluster1-02        1.10.B             active
                     1.11.B             active
                     1.11.A             active
                     1.10.A             active
                     1.0.A              connection-error
                     1.0.B              active
 1. Disable ACP
 cluster1::> storage shelf acp configure -is-enabled false
 2. Wait for 5 minutes to allow the ACP to reset completely.
 3. Enable out-of-band ACP again and use the default IP address. ACP provides the
 IP address.
 cluster1::> storage shelf acp configure -is-enabled true -channel out-of-band

based on the firmware levels,  doesn't look like you can move to inband.     

 

Just to confirm, Is this just internal disks or is there a shelf attatched? 

 

have you opened a support case with netapp yet?

This is a single FAS2554 in HA with 24 internal disk, no external shelf.

 

From ActiveIQ all firmware are marked as update. For now I haven't open a case.

have you tried a manual update of the lastest firmwares?

Hi All

 

i can't find a reference for it now. but i had similar issue with two  FAS2240 also going from 8.3.2 to 9.1 where ACP gone to no-connection. the solution was to turn ACP off and on again.

 

i think there was a bug open for it, but i can't find it...

Thanks @AlexDawson 

 

the bug report exactly my issue, I will try to disable/enable ACP and let you know if it works and solve my issue.
