We need to perform a task that involves disconnecting one of the cluster interconnect cables as part of a Failover Test and during the transition from a 2-node switchless configuration to a 4-node switched cluster. Because this procedure requires maintaining continuous service, the customer is requesting an official NetApp document or guidance confirming that disconnecting a single cluster cable does not cause any I/O interruption or noticeable I/O fluctuations. In our internal testing, we confirmed that there was no I/O outage; however, we did observe very slight I/O fluctuations. These minor latency spikes appeared to have minimal impact on the virtual machines in the test environment. We would appreciate any official documentation or recommendations from NetApp regarding the service assurance when a single cluster interconnect link is disconnected, including both I/O continuity and the absence of I/O fluctuation.

Dear Everyone, After upgrading the FAS8200 platform to ONTAP 9.12.1, the output time of the sensors show command has increased from the previous 2 seconds to about 4 seconds. Using the hidden option, we confirmed that there are some differences in the "init sensors" section. Although the number of sensor items is the same between ONTAP 9.9 and 9.12.1, the customer is concerned about what internal logic changes may have caused the additional 2-second delay. While we believe this behavior is normal, we need to provide the customer with a clear explanation of the underlying reason. For comparison with other platforms: FAS8300: 328 sensors → output within 1 second AFF A700s: 430 sensors → output within 1 second I would appreciate any advice you can provide regarding this issue.

Hi All, I have a four node cluster with 4x10G Ports each on both AFF C400 and FAS8300 with two 10G switches. My query is what should be the topology for achieving highest bandwidth and redundancy for NAS. Should I connect, two ports from each node to switch one and another two to switch two and create a interface group using all the four. Thanks in advance. Regards, Praveen.
