Summary

[Impact Medium]

10GbE cables were shipped instead of 25GbE cables for Cluster/HA ports of FAS2820 systems.

Issue Description

Incorrect cables (10Gb Ethernet Twinax cables instead of 25Gb Ethernet Twinax cables) for the Cluster/HA interconnect (switchless cluster) were included for some FAS2820 orders.

Impact: Workloads that consist of 100% remote sequential read operations might see a slight limit to their performance (throughput). Such a workload is unlikely.

Symptom

Using the "sysconfig -a 0" nodeshell command, verify the link speed of ports e0a and e0b.
