CFSHELF-6013: Enclosure management process on NS224NSM16E or NS224NSM8E shelf modules might restart after an inter-module communication failure
Issue
- On systems based on the NS224NSM16E or NS224NSM8E shelf chassis, the enclosure management process (
{}enclmgmtd{}) might abort and restart after a temporary loss of communication between the dual shelf modules. - When this occurs, EMS reports an
enclmgmtducore panic followed by an automatic service restart. - Shelf module status may briefly show as unknown or offline, then return to online after the process and module communication recover.
- Storage data path impact is typically limited to a transient enclosure-management disruption; the condition has been observed as a single occurrence on an affected system.
- Observed on ONTAP 9.16.1P9 with NS224NSM16E module firmware 0140.
