We are currently moving our NetApp SAN to new location and I meticulously documented the cables. But we have 3 systems and the last one is slightly different and I wanted to use the opportunity to wire it the same had asked NetApp support these questions (no reply as of yet) but wanted to see opinions from those that do this stuff out in the field.
1. Can I change port-pairs for a stack during re-install since disk ownership is in software (keeping shelves in same order of course)
2. Will there be issues if first/last shelf end up wired up as last/first shelf? In one rack the stacks were wired top to bottom and another rack the stacks were wired bottom to top. I'd like to make them both the same. I can physically change disk shelf rack height if they cannot be reversed.
Just my OCD trying to get things the same but really could just go back how I found it...
