Hello! I have a FAS8020 SAN cluster with two DS2246 shelves running ONTAP 9.1P19. This thing is out of warranty and we currently just use it for backups. I had a bad drive happen the other day. Didn't think much of it as I've replaced drives dozens of times. Popped the drive into the shelf; went into the OCSM GUI; saw the new drive and added it to the node. It sat there infinitely trying to add the drive. I thought it was just taking awhile, until an hour later, I finally realized I lost the entire SAN! I manually consoled into the cluster, sure enough both nodes went completely down hard. Saw this error on both nodes: PANIC: Illegal Disk Configuration in SK process config_check on release 9.1P19 Naturally, I removed the disk and manually booted the nodes one at a time in the CLI (via console). Everything came back up ok. Luckily we bought 2 drives so I thought maybe we had a DOA. Nope. 2nd one did the same exact thing. So my question here is, do I have a hardware incompatibility issue or a san configuration issue? Based on this error, I would assume it would be an incompatible drive. We tried to buy the same drive as what was in there (HGST SAS 450GB 10K Model: HUC109045CSS600). I'm not sure if there is a different spec I need to check? Fits perfectly. I think the shocking thing is that it takes the whole SAN down. I would have thought it would take one node down but not the whole thing at the same time! So I'm not sure if there isn't a configuration issue somewhere too. Appreciate any help. Let me know if I am missing any details. Thanks!

Hey guys - Can anyone with an 8040 post the Processor type from a "sysconfig" command? I need the exact CPU model number for some things I'm working on - need independent confirmation of something my NetApp team told me. Thanks in advance! Bob

I am trying to run a .ps1 script given to me by higher level. Factory Reset the storage system as directed using a macro file. When deploying the environment, fails to assign the first aggregate disk to node 1. Is there a command or setting in Data Ontap 8.3 that will allow/disable changing of node ownership of aggregate disks?

Hi, I have couple of dozen FAS2220 NetApp Release 8.2.5P5 7-Mode arrays. I have also a stock of brand new disks I use to replace failed disks. The disks are not sent by vendor as there is no support for those devices anymore but they are purchased from Netapp partner. Unfortunately quite frequently new disks are not accepted by the array. It's very random. Sometimes there is no issue at all and the other time after the replacement even size of the disk is not recognized. Sometimes i have to try 5 new disks untiull finally one of them will be added to the pool. How can I find the root cause ? If that would be one array i'd suspect hardware issue but if it happens on many separate arrays. slot 0: SAS Host Adapter 0a (PMC-Sierra PM8001 rev.
