Sure... Generally: -C suffixes indicate a part that is included in factory-configured system build/configuration - i.e. config to order (CTO) -QS suffixes indicate parts that are shipped individually and directly from a distribution center (Quick Ship)

Upgrading ONTAP is a good idea. 9.1 went EOVS a while ago, For 9.1-9.3, you would use the cluster unjoin command. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-93/cluster-unjoin.html I assume you plan to leave the 8080 in the existing cluster and unjoin the 8020 from it. Follow this document to ensure a successful removal: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/system-admin/remov-nodes-cluster-concept.html Reinitialize the 8020 to set it up as a new 2-node cluster. https://kb.netapp.com/onprem/ontap/os/How_to_decommission_or_repurpose_an_HA_Pair_with_ONTAP_9

I'm not sure what you mean by "online". However, you can certainly use the mentioned procedure to change the mezzanine module (slot 1) from one type to another, as well.

5d.30.1 is a node-level disk path name - the 1st value is a storage port on the node. The ONTAP disk name is a cluster-level disk name - the 1st value is an arbitrary stack number. See this KB for info on how to determine both names for a disk. How to map a disk name between clustershell and nodeshell

More or less. Once the system is initialized, you follow the documented link to assign ownership of all the available data partitions to one node. (Leave one spare data partition to be available for failures).

What is the model? With such a low disk count, you might need to consider active/passive HA configurations to eke out the most storage capacity: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/disks-aggregates/setup-active-passive-config-root-data-task.html

Just delete the "management-network" switch entries with -force to make them really disappear. switch ethernet delete -device <name> -force https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9131//system-switch-ethernet-delete.html Also, if you don't use CDP in your management network, disable CDP on your ONTAP nodes. Note: CDP will remain enabled on the cluster network ports, regardless of CDP being "disabled".

This is an E-series E5600-based controller module. I'll try to move your post to the E-Series forum.

The MetroCluster documentation is extensive... Intra-cluster (e4a/e8a) will go to the MC-IP switches (not switchless). https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/install-ip/concept_required_mcc_ip_components_and_naming_guidelines_mcc_ip.html#ip-switch-requirements-in-a-metrocluster-ip-configuration Example port layout: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/install-ip/port_usage_9336c_shared.html#cabling-a-fas8300-fas8700-fas9000-or-fas9500-system-to-a-cisco-9336c-fx2-shared-switch You'll need the X91146A NIC in Slot 5 for the remote HA/DR traffic. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/install-ip/concept_required_mcc_ip_components_and_naming_guidelines_mcc_ip.html#gigabit-ethernet-adapter-requirements-in-a-metrocluster-ip-configuration You'll use this 9336C part number: https://hwu.netapp.com/Switch/Index?PartNumber=X190200-CS-PE Cables/optics choices are shown in Hardware Universe.

I would recommend that you open a technical case with NetApp Support to assist. Do you have MPIO enabled?

A1. It is "normal" to not cross-connect the SAS ports when you do not have any external storage shelves. See: https://kb.netapp.com/onprem/ontap/hardware/Are_SAS_cables_required_for_FAS_or_AFF_systems_with_internal_only_storage A2: Though it is "single-path", that path is extremely reliable (since it is completely internal). If you do wish the most reliability, you can still cross-connect the SAS port - if desired. That said, the newer FAS2820 does improve on the FAS2720 in this regard - there are two internal paths.

Hi, Switch FW, RCF version and ONTAP version compatibility is found here: https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/info/broadcom-cluster-switch and on the NetApp Hardware Universe

Did you install or update the DQP? Is your SAS cabling healthy (MP-HA)? When reseating a drive, please wait 60s before reinserting it.

Ref: https://hwu.netapp.com/Cable/Index?type=1&cabletype=531660,531663&partnumber=X6589-R6 Yes, the UTA2 ports on a FAS2650 -> Onboard Ports & Cables (e0c, e0d, e0e, e0f) are considered onboard ports. Generally, any "e0<letter>" Ethernet port would be an "onboard port".
