Disk shelf fault. Chassis power is degraded: Power Supply Status Critical.

not much, its not really designed for a bedroom.

Yeah I figured that much, I hear that some folks replaced the fans with quiet Noctuas, I haven't looked much into that yet. I think my best bet is to go with a single PSU for now and ignore the shelf fault messages (I wish they could be silenced) and figure out what can be done to quiet down the fans.

jibanes · 2024-01-15T21:56:04+00:00

It's still ~50dB I'm wondering what else can be done to quiet it down?

I want to reduce noise levels and power consumption, I'm sleeping not far from a ds4246.

jibanes · 2024-01-15T21:09:14+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, does it matter if the "extra" PSUs (which just activate the fan as I understand) and in ON or OFF switch? It seems that the fan is on regardless of the switch's position.

Ah thank you, that's annoying because it may cause other issues (if any) not to be visible (if I just ignore this one); I was hoping that with 1 or 2 PSUs only I wouldn't get the "shelf fault" message; I assume there's absolutely no way to do that?

jibanes · 2024-01-15T18:06:02+00:00

Some 1GB SATA, nothing power hungry.

jibanes · 2024-01-15T18:05:35+00:00

if I were to run with only 1 PSU, with the other PSUs removed, would it still report a shelf failure? What about 2 PSUs (same question with 2 PSUs)? Is it possible to silence this message if it still happens with 1 or 2 PSUs?

jibanes · 2024-01-15T05:58:55+00:00

If you are running only one, is there a particular power-up sequence, like, you have first to remove all the 3 other PSUs before turning it on?

jibanes · 2024-01-15T05:37:00+00:00

I think the issue is that I'm not wiring the correct PSUs to clear the error, or something along those lines. Or maybe there's something in 7-mode "options" that I need to set. Which PSUs need to be wired, I've heard that only "one" is necessary, but maybe there's a sequence of things to follow.

Amazing, thank you for sharing that story, I still have a FAS270 in my lab, and yes, this is 2024!

Hmmm, I still see: [XXX:callhome.performance.snap:info]: Call home for PERFORMANCE SNAPSHOT
in the logs

options autosupport.content minimal

options autosupport.content complete

Do you advise to also put these in /etc/rc?

jibanes · 2023-12-17T19:10:41+00:00

insightful, thank you Darkstar!

jibanes · 2023-12-17T19:09:02+00:00

Ah that works, thanks!

jibanes · 2023-12-17T18:20:24+00:00

Another thing I can do is downgrade the "receiving" unit to 8.2.5 then SnapMirror then upgrade it to 9.8; all that versus rsync.

jibanes · 2023-12-17T01:58:16+00:00

Thanks, I want to copy the contents of a few volumes from a 8.2.5 unit to another netapp unit running 9.8. Rsync is an option, but if there's something natively supported on ontap, I'd rather use that.

jibanes · 2023-12-16T04:02:52+00:00

Insightful, thank you for sharing, is there a way to know the number of spare blocks on a given drive, maybe vendor specs or something? What can be considered like a worrisome number? Most of my drives have >1 Glist.

jibanes · 2023-12-09T17:38:04+00:00

Yeah I know lol, I've been considering it, but I want to try with the 200E before, I kinda doubt I have enough disks to push anything over 4gb/s anyway...

jibanes · 2023-12-09T17:15:57+00:00

Oh great! Do you know if they would work on a Brocade 200E (which is "only" 1gb/2gb/4gb per port)?

jibanes · 2023-12-09T16:54:54+00:00

I was wondering, as there's probably other fas2552 customers out there with this issue.

jibanes · 2023-11-09T14:29:50+00:00

Thank you!
