Applies to

  • In-Band Alternate Control Path (ACP)
  • IOM6 modules
  • ONTAP 9.x

Issue

  • In ONTAP 9.x, In-Band ACP is the default configuration.
  • ACP modules may report the following instead of active:
    • initializing
    • firmware-update-required
    • unsupported
  • ACP status appears in EMS log (on initial change in status):

Mon Aug 05 10:07:15 CEST [CLUSTER-01: dsa_worker1: ses.status.ACPWarn:error]: DS4246 (S/N SHFxxxxxxxxxxxx) shelf 1 on channel 0a ACP Processor warning for SAS shelf ACP processor 1: ACP status not available. Element in transition mode. This module is on the rear of the shelf at the top center, on shelf module A.
Mon Aug 05 10:07:16 CEST [CLUSTER-01: sem_broker: acp.need.firmware.update:error]: ACP module  (NA) needs a firmware upgrade, (disk shelf serial number: SHFxxxxxxxxxxxx).

  • Status can be checked any time with the following commands:
