Migrate to a switched NetApp cluster environment

Summary

Hello Support

I think it might be a good idea to add a warning or Info about the 10G/25G ports when using them with both port speeds. We've seen this at cluster migrations from a old (10G) Cluster to a new (25G) cluster. The RCF has a small Note that says

The 48 SFP28/SFP+ ports are organized into 4-port groups in terms of port speed: Ports 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-24, 25-28, 29-32, 33-36, 37-40, 41-44, 45-48 The port speed should be the same (10GbE or 25GbE) across all ports in a 4-port group

However it doesn't say that if those ports are connected together (for example port1,2 = 10G port 3,4 =25G), all ports will go down what will cause a unhealthy cluster. So to prevent this a warning for those combinations would be great

Thanks and Regards Marco
