Can you give us specs on your NetApp? Model ONTAP Version The DS42xx and DS14MK2 aren't supported with everything. Did you get confirmation that you are running a compatible configuraiton? WHen you add just one link from the NetApp to these shelves your NetApp should see the disks (disk show -n) <-- Non owned disks. If you aren't seeing disks that means something is not either cabled right, or it isn't a supported config. Run Config Advisor to check your cabling. ... View more

Go ape crazy. I rename volumes all of the time. Clients like to name volumes with crazy upper and lower case letters which drives me crazy because I live in CLI. igroups are mainly for human reference. The LUN mappings are by iqn or WWPN, igroups are just a way for us to logically combine things. Rename igroups whenever you want. LUN renames will be automatically detected by SnapDrive. You can even create a qtree, and move a LUN into or out of a qtree while online. SnapDrive is good at handling these path changes. Like Scott mentioned, just make sure if it is an NFS export that it is exported after the rename. ... View more

That is a simple question, and at the same time a loaded question. First off, call NetApp support if you are not comfortable doing this. They'll walk you through it. My post is assuming you are running Multi-path HA. If this is an HA pair I'd run the following options command on both NetApp controllers... options disk.auto_assign off Do not cable the shelf up yet. If the shelf has the same ID as another already running it could cause some issues. NetApp does a good job at keeping same shelf ID's separate, but... Power on the SAS shelf, set the ID that you want the shelf to be. Usually odds are on controller A and evens on controller B (i.e. fas01-a 10-19, 30-30, etc, while fas01-b 20-29, 40-49, etc.) After setting the ID on the shelf power the shelf off for 30 seconds. Wait 60 if you want to be sure... It takes some time for the ID to "burn in" and actually set itself. Power the shelf back on, and add the shelf into the loop. I've stuck to the old school way of A --> D, C --> B. But if you don't know how to install a shelf I've probably lost you already. Think of the square port as the "Stop" sign. That is where the loop "ends". So from fas01-a port A --> shelf1 Module A square. If you added a second shelf, Module A circle should go to shelf2 Module A square, this then goes to fas01-b port D. I highly recommend calling NetApp support (you've paid for it might as well use it). Also I recommend reading the setup guide for your particular NetApp controller. It should show you exactly how to configure a single or dual controller configuration (way better than I can describe in words). Log onto the NOW site (now.netapp.com) and click on "Documentaiton -> Product Documentation -> Choose your FAS series -> Installation and Setup Instructions. This document will show you how the cabling should look like. Once you get the shelf added, you are going to need to assign the disks to the controller. If you want all disks assigned to one controller (which is recommended) run the "disk assign all" command on that controller. You'll then need to add the disks to the aggregate or create a new aggregate if the disk sizes/speed are different or you've reached your aggregate size limit, but you'll need to calculate the optimal raid group size as well. You don't want a small raid group or you'll run into performance issues. This does not account for EVERYTHING and all scenarios, which is why it is a simple question but a loaded one. ... View more

The only reason why you would need to delete the snapshots is to remove them from the "snapmirrorr status" list. Until you delete those old relationship snapshots they will always show up when you run snap mirror status. This is more of a cleanup phase after you are done. ... View more

This is how I normally do it. Like bsti@plex.com wrote, ideally you can use vol move.
