Question #: 71
Topic #: 3
[All NS0-593 Questions]

Your customer is running a NetApp AFF A800 system with NetApp ONTAP 9.8 software and states that their NS224 shelf is not showing with the correct shelf ID. You analyze the data and the shelf shows an identification of ''1.SHFHUXXXXXXXXXX."

What is the cause of the reported Issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

According to the NetApp Knowledge Base, adding a second NS224 shelf to an existing stack can cause the first shelf ID to change to the serial number if the cables are not connected properly1.This can also result in a Medium Impact error message: Shelves with both connections via the same SAS path detected2. This situation is not normal for a NetApp AFF A800 system and can affect performance and availability.The cables should be reconnected according to the SAS cabling rules and concepts for shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules3and the controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity4.Reference=Shelves with both connections via the same SAS path detected,Adding a second NS224 shelf, changes first shelf ID to the serial number,SAS cabling rules and concepts - shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules,Controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity.

Wait, can a disk replacement really mess up the shelf ID?

I practiced a question about disk replacements affecting shelf IDs, so maybe that's relevant here?

I think adding a new shelf could cause ID mismatches, but I can't recall if it applies to this specific scenario.

I remember something about shelf IDs being affected by power cycling, but I'm not sure if that's the main issue here.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The shelf ID format is the giveaway - it looks like a hardware issue, so I'm going to go with D. The shelf was cabled incorrectly.

I'm a bit confused by this one. The information provided doesn't seem to match the answer choices very well. I'll have to re-read the question and try to connect the dots.

Okay, let's see. The shelf ID is the key here. I'm guessing it's either a cabling issue or something to do with the shelf itself. I'll try to eliminate the other options first.

This one seems tricky, but I think I can figure it out. The shelf ID is in an unusual format, so that's a clue that something's not right.

This question is a real head-scratcher. Maybe the shelf just felt like being a little rebellious and decided to give itself a new ID. Shelf shenanigans, am I right?

I'm going with B. A new shelf was added to the controller. The weird ID code might be a result of that recent change.
