You cannot have exceeded the maximum number of shelves supported by your HA pair after hot-adding shelves. NetApp Hardware Universe • If you are hot-adding a shelf to an HA pair that already has an NS224 shelf, your HA pair cannot have any storage cabling error messages, and it must be cabled as multipath HA. - Page 4 Considerations for a hot-add You should familiarize yourself with best practices and aspects about this procedure before hot-adding an NS224 drive shelf. • Best practice: The best practice is to have the current version of the Disk Qualification Package (DQP) installed before hot-adding a shelf.
- Page 5 If your HA pair has non-dedicated RoCE capable ports that you are using to hot-add an NS224 drive shelf, you must make sure the ports are configured for storage use (not networking use). Depending on your platform model, the RoCE capable ports are on board the controllers, on RoCE capable PCIe cards, a combination of both, or on RoCE capable I/O modules.
- Page 6 When non-dedicated ports are not configured for storage use, the command output displays the following: If your HA pair is running ONTAP 9.8 or later, the non-dedicated ports display network column. Mode If your HA pair is running ONTAP 9.7 or 9.6, the non-dedicated ports, which display false in the column, also display...

- Page 14 2. If you are hot-adding one or two shelves using two sets of RoCE capable ports (two RoCE capable I/O modules) in each controller module, complete the applicable substeps. Shelves Cabling Shelf 1 These substeps assume that you are beginning the cabling by cabling shelf port e0a to the RoCE capable I/O module in slot 3, instead of slot 7.
- Page 15 Cable a hot-add shelf for an AFF A800 or ASA A800HA pair How you cable an NS224 drive shelf in an AFF A800 or ASA A800HA pair depends on the number of shelves you are hot-adding and the number of RoCE capable port sets (one or two) you are using on the controller modules.
