In this scenario, what should you do next?

After you install an AFF A700 2-node cluster with DS224C shelves, Config Advisor reports that your SAS cabling is in mixed-path HA. You expected the SAS cabling be in quad-path HA.

You physically verify the LED status on the controllers and the shelves and notice no irregularities. However, a reboot of the SAS expander does not change the output.

In this scenario, what should you do next?

A. Open a case with NetApp Support and turn off the disk shelves until the issue is solved.

B. Disconnect the disk shelves from the controller and run Config Advisor again.

C. Re-seat the SAS IO modules of the affected AFF A700 controller.

D. Use multipath HA because it is the only cabling supported on an AFF A700 controller.
