I have these components NetApp IOM12 (2) inside DS4243 connecting to Dell PE R620 with 2 H830 and 1 Dell HHJD7 ASA-80165H Quad port I need some instructions or guidance on how to cable these components together to get the server to see the NetApp box....I am not sure I want to run an actual RAID, but I definitely would like the server to see the NetApp box as JBOD set up....can someone please provide me this guidance?

Hi Team we have an issue on one of our netapp appliances. One of the controllers keeps faulting every 2 days. Only a hard reset seems to solve the issue temporarily. Some of the resources do stay online but the rest do not failover to the other controller. kindly Advise

Need some help with a FAS2520 2-node switchless cluster. Since some time one of the nodes appears in red (node down) in OnCommandSystemManager. Here's some commands output that I've managed to run (I'm a NetApp newbie, hope these make sense):

I've tried to reboot the failed node from command line, but:
ntapcl-bul-sf::*> system node reboot -node ntapcl-bul-sf-01 Warning: Rebooting or halting node "ntapcl-bul-sf-01" in an HA-enabled cluster may result in client disruption or data access failure. To ensure continuity of service, use the "storage failover takeover" command. Are you sure you want to reboot node "ntapcl-bul-sf-01"? {y|n}: y Warning: Unable to list entries on node ntapcl-bul-sf-01. RPC: Couldn't make connection Error: command failed: RPC: Couldn't make connection
Looks like a communication issue, there is no ping to any of the IPs of the failed node - not from a workstation, not from the second node.
What would be the right thing to do next? Is it safe to turn the power off/on , or reconnect all network cables one by one? Or something else?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello NA Community, I had to power off our old FAS2520 for a maintenance and I think all the SSDs of our flashpool hit the bug 1335350 where they failed after a power cycle and I'm pretty sure we exceeded 70,000 power on hours. The bug details says to contact support, unfortunately this is now an outdated system with an outdated ONTAP version (otherwise I wouldn't have had that issue), so I'm not even able to create a support case for that system anymore. Did someone here encounter this issue and was there a way to make the SSDs that exceed 70k power on hours work again? I assume updating the FAS2520 now wouldn't be useful as the system will be unable to flash a new firmware on the SDDs that are marked as failed/broken. Thank you in advance.

Hi, in my lab i'm using a single controller FAS2750 and i'm trying to use the e0a and e0b to connect them to a ethernet switch, but i don't get a link. When using the same cable and make a bridge from e0a to e0b i'm getting a link, but not when connecting to the switch. Same on the switch, when i connecting both ports i'm getting also a link. Switch and NetApp are showing all SFP informations of the connected SFP. I have already tryed different DAC cables and SFP modules with optical cables. The switch is a Mellanox MSN2010. Do i missed something? Kind regards Stefan
