Applies to

  • AFF A1K, AFF A90, AFF A70, AFF A50, AFF A30
  • AFF C80, AFF C60, AFF C30
  • ASA A1K, ASA A90, ASA A70, ASA A50, ASA A30
  • FAS90, FAS70
  • Cluster Ports

Description

  • Platforms that recommend sharing 40GbE or 100GbE network ports for both Cluster and HA connections can support 10G or 25G cluster connections to legacy cluster switches.
  • Customers should update to 40GbE or 100GbE cluster speeds when legacy 10/25GbE cluster switches are no longer required.
    • HA connections are external on these platforms and still exist on 40/100GbE network ports, even when using 10/25GbE cluster connections.
  • Use this procedure to convert existing 10G or 25G cluster ports to 40G or 100G cluster ports in either switchless or switched ONTAP clusters.
    • Cluster ports will be updated to use the same 40/100GbE ports that are currently being used for dedicated HA traffic.
