A B2B type consistency point (CP) occurs when a new CP is triggered before the previous CP is completed, due to the second memory buffer reaching a watermark. This can cause write latency to increase as user write operations are not replied until a write buffer frees up. However, this only affects the aggregate that is undergoing the B2B processing, and not the other aggregates on the same node. Therefore, the performance of the client operations on the data aggregates will not be affected by B2B processing on the root aggregate. References = What is the Back-to-Back (B2B) Consistency Point Scenario?, What are the different Consistency Point types and how are they measured in ONTAP 9?, What are the different Consistency Point types and how are they measured?

According to the SAS cabling rules and concepts for shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules1, one of the goals is to provide a single, easily understood universal algorithm for all SAS products and configurations. One of the rules is that of the two paths to a single disk storage stack from a single node, one should connect to the top and one to the bottom of the storage stack. This ensures maximum possible resilience and minimizes the reliance on controller takeovers. The exhibit shows that both SAS connections from one controller go to the same shelf, which violates this rule and causes the error message. This situation is not normal for a FAS2750 single-node system and can reduce reliability and availability. The cables should be reconnected according to the SAS cabling rules and the controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity2. References = SAS cabling rules and concepts - shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules, SAS cabling issue: Both SAS connections from one controller go to the same shelf, Controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity.

 According to the NetApp Knowledge Base, adding a second NS224 shelf to an existing stack can cause the first shelf ID to change to the serial number if the cables are not connected properly1. This can also result in a Medium Impact error message: Shelves with both connections via the same SAS path detected2. This situation is not normal for a NetApp AFF A800 system andcan affect performance and availability. The cables should be reconnected according to the SAS cabling rules and concepts for shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules3 and the controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity4. References = Shelves with both connections via the same SAS path detected, Adding a second NS224 shelf, changes first shelf ID to the serial number, SAS cabling rules and concepts - shelves with IOM12/IOM12B modules, Controller-to-stack cabling worksheet template for quad-pathed connectivity.
