Issue

  • When attempting to join two new AFF-C30 nodes to an existing cluster 8-node cluster (FAS8200/AFF-A400) it failed with error:

Job "Node Add Job" [id 12345] (Node Add Job) completed unsuccessfully: Node add Job failed: Failed to start cluster join on node: 169.254.1.242: The currently running image on this node lacks the following capabilities which are installed on other nodes in the cluster: sm_cg_restart_enabled This node must be upgraded to 9.16.1P11 or a later release or the cluster must be downgraded to the release version of this node.  Resolve the issue, then try the command again.

  • Cluster is on ONTAP 9.16.1P11. New C30 nodes shipped with ONTAP 9.17.1 to support X60135A NICs.
  • Downgrading C30 to 9.16.1P11 makes X60135A unsupported.
  • Upgrading the cluster to 9.17 is not possible because FAS8200 cannot go beyond 9.16.1.
