Can IOM12B and IOM12 modules be mixed in the same shelf stack?
Applies to
- IOM12 and IOM12B I/O modules for SAS shelves
- DS224C, DS212C, DS460C disk shelves
- AFF Platforms
- FAS Platforms
Answer
Mixing IOM12B and IOM12 modules in the same shelf stack is supported if the following conditions are met:
- The installed ONTAP version is a minimum of:
- 9.5P13 or later
- 9.6P7 or later
- 9.7 or later
- Mixing of different shelf module types within each individual shelf is not supported
- For shelf stacks that also contain IOM6 or IOM6E modules:
- AFF A400, FAS8300, and FAS8700 do not support mixing IOM6 and IOM12B modules
- For all other platforms refer to Hot-add IOM12/IOM12B shelves to a stack of IOM6 shelves for specific rules
