Security: Video

Network switch has port security on and shuts down a NetApp iSCSI data port (e.g. CH3). This article is only relevant in aspects of network security / port security where MAC addresses are analysed. Some network security applications are capable of sniffing network packets thoroughly enough to pick up MAC addresses on E-Series Controller ports that are not seen in the Storage Array Profile data.

Port 3260 is used on iSCSI ports. Control-ports require 2463, 50889, 161, 162, 80 and 443 to be accessible.

This article give you hints on what you can do if you are not able to see the expansions of your DSA E2800 in the Hardware tab and you see the controller only.

This information may be requested by Central Technical Support Team, as the bundle file is useful for troubleshooting the improper behavior of the unit. The method for collecting the NetApp DSA E2800 support bundle file from SANtricity Storage Manager App is provided below.   Step-by-step guide   Please make sure that you have the SANtricity Storage Manager App installed on your unit. 1. Open the SANtricity Storage Manager App   2. Right click on your DSA E2800 > select "Execute Script..." option    3.

FW 11.50.2 must be used for Single Controllers and 11.60.2 for Dual Controllers

NetApp SANtricity Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) technology represents a significant advancement in storage system, data protection and data management. As disk capacities continue to grow without sufficient increases in data transfer rates, traditional RAID rebuild times are getting longer, even up to several days. This slow rebuild results in much more time with degraded performance and exposure to additional disk failures.

This article contains 2 options describing the way you can find the Firmware version of your DSA unit, in case the Central Technical Support team is asking you about it or if you simply want to find it by yourself. Check out this article!

This article provides causes and solutions regarding Netapp E2800 periodically disconnections.

VSG is specifically designed to provide integration for 3rd party ONVIF, JPEG, RTSP, and legacy H.263 Bosch devices.

To ensure the highest customer satisfaction and replace the defective hardware faster and more smoothly, it is necessary to register each system for the specific country together with the system location. But where and why should you register your device?

In this article we cover the following basic questions: How to Factory Default a NetApp E-Series unit by using BOSCH tools and NetApp WEB GUI? How to download the NetApp Support Bundle of a reachable online NetApp Storage Array

This article presents what should we check first if Channel 5 & 6 of DSA E2800 are showing as disconnected: Verify if the expansion slots are connected correctly (page 21) Afterwards, wait a few minutes until they load up, and only then start the DSA S2800. Now, you can check in the Configuration Manager to see if the IP addresses need to be changed. Once you verify that they are correct, you can add the Device in Configuration Client.

This article presents where you can find and download the Firmware for NetApp DSA unit. Depending on the version you need, you can access this E-Series SANtricity OS Controller Software Link for Downloads. 

This article explains where to find the Serial-No. of a system. The BOSCH sticker is most important.  For registration and NetApp case creation of the DSA E2700 and the DSA E2800 units only the NetApp S/N of the Controller base unit is relevant.
