device: NetApp A220   In our staging environment, I ran through the initial  management network configure via the USB connected console, then configured the everything else via the web portal (data NICs, SVM, first LUN). I did this in order to document the process for production.   I realize that there is way to reset the configuration and wipe the disks in a secure way. There is no sensitive data on the SAN. Is there any way to get the configuration back to the way I received it initially without requiring a secure wipe of the disks (hours of unnecessary zerorizing). i.e., I would like to use the exactly same steps I followed when I first configured the device to deploy it in production as it will be an audited process.   I found this link that seems to be ok but I heard in some situations resetting to factory config leaves the SAN in a state that is not always the way the vendor shipped it e.g., licenses may be preloaded from the vendor:  https://dailysysadmin.com/KB/Article/8724/how-to-wipe-or-decommission-a-netapp-san-to-clear-config-and-wipe-or-zero-disks/ thanks in advance!

we have 2 cifs shares on vserver    Both were working  till date but since yesterday only one of the paths connect at one time with the respective credentials.   we are getting below , if we try to connect to other share  Error : The network Folder Specified is currently mapped using a different username and password To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect existing mapping to this network drive   The issue may be due to trying to connect to the same server with different credentials, both share1 & share 2 paths were working till yesterday the issue occurred today. Kindly help resolve the same as it will impact our  scheduler.     I am suspecting that earlier the one CIFS share was connecting through IP1 and Other CIFS share was connecting through IP2 or vice versa. Thus allowing both  shares to connect from same source server. Currently the connection is going to the same IP either IP1 or IP2   I have tested the scenario through  and it worked when I connected one of them with IP1 and other with IP2 via respective service accounts   Please advise on the fix since as per norms, we should not use the Ip addresses directly. The naming convention should be used. Please advise.       ... View more
