Follow this procedure to install the applicable configuration file for Ethernet switch health monitoring of NVIDIA cluster switches. Supported models are:

  • X190006-PE

  • X190006-PI

Note This installation procedure applies to ONTAP 9.10.1 and later.
Before you begin

  • Verify that you need to download the configuration file by running system switch ethernet show and checking if OTHER is shown for your model.

    If your model is still showing OTHER after applying the configuration file, contact NetApp support.

  • Make sure that the ONTAP cluster is up and running.

  • Enable SSH to use all of the features available in CSHM.

Steps

  1. Download the Ethernet switch health monitor configuration zip file based on the corresponding ONTAP release version. This file is available from the NVIDIA Ethernet switches page.

    1. On the NVIDIA SN2100 Software download page, select Nvidia CSHM File.

    2. On the Caution/Must read page, select the check box to agree.

    3. On the End User License Agreement page, select the check box to agree and click Accept & Continue.

    4. On the Nvidia CSHM File - Download page, select the applicable configuration file. The following files are available:

ONTAP 9.15.1 and later

  • X190006-PE.zip

  • X190006-PI.zip

ONTAP 9.11.1 through 9.14.1

  • X190006-PE_PRIOR_9.15.1.zip

  • X190006-PI_PRIOR_9.15.1.zip

  1. Upload the applicable zip file to your internal web server.

  2. Access the advanced mode setting from one of the ONTAP systems in the cluster.

    set -privilege advanced

  3. Run the switch health monitor configure command.

    cluster1::> system cluster-switch configure-health-monitor -node * -package-url 192.168.2.20/usr/download/[filename.zip]

  4. Verify that the command output ends with the following text for your ONTAP version:

ONTAP 9.15.1 and later

Ethernet switch health monitoring installed the configuration file.

ONTAP 9.11.1 through 9.14.1

SHM installed the configuration file.

ONTAP 9.10.1

CSHM downloaded package processed successfully.

If an error occurs, contact NetApp support.

  1. Wait up to twice the Ethernet switch health monitor polling interval, found by running system switch ethernet polling-interval show, before completing the next step.

  2. Run the command system switch ethernet show on the ONTAP system and make sure that the cluster switches are discovered with the monitored field set to True and the serial number field not showing Unknown.

    cluster1::> system switch ethernet show
