You can verify IDs already in use by entering the sasadmin shelf command at the system
console.
For 7-Mode HA pairs, you can enter this command from either node.
For clustered systems, you must run this command from the nodeshell of the target node.
a. Change the shelf ID to a valid ID.
b. Power-cycle the disk shelf to make the shelf ID take effect.
The
Changing the disk shelf ID
section has detailed information and instructions.
8. If you are not currently using the ACP capability but want to, enable ACP on your storage
system by completing the following steps; otherwise, go to
Cabling the hot-added disk shelf
.
Note: It is recommended that you use ACP.
a. Enable ACP on the storage system by entering the applicable command at the system
console:
• If your system is running Data ONTAP 8.2 or earlier, enter options acp.enabled
on
• If your system is running Data ONTAP 8.2.1 or later, enter acpadmin configure
For 7-Mode HA pairs, you can run this command from either node.
For clustered systems, you must run this command from the nodeshell of the target node.
b. Dedicate a network interface and specify other parameters, such as network domain and
netmask, as prompted.
For 7-Mode HA pairs, you must dedicate a network interface for each node.
Note: Some storage systems have a dedicated Ethernet port for ACP that you should use.
For example, FAS2040 systems would use the dedicated e0P port.
Cabling the hot-added disk shelf
Cabling the hot-added disk shelf involves cabling the SAS connections and if applicable, assigning
disk drive ownership and cabling the ACP connections.
