Hello everyone! We have encountered the following problem. We have a Storage E2724, which is now End of Life. We used it in production a couple of years ago, configured as FC. We decided to use it for our backup infrastructure, but we need to switch it to iSCSI mode. As we understand, this is done by activating the Feature Pack. We need to request a key from NetApp support and connect it. Unfortunately, we no longer have support since the storage is End of Life. We found that the controllers have an SMID of 214, and this value needs to be changed to SMID 250. Is there any way to do this? (via telnet, management, etc.)

Hello, we are coming back to Netapp and we want to implement again an antivirus solution. 5 years ago we were using McAfee but the security teams is telling me this is too hard to maintain and administer. What is your experience (quality/ease of use)with the different supported antivirus : - Trellix/Mcafee - Symantec - Trend Micro - Sentinel One - Deep Instinct Also our corporate solution is Microsoft Defender does someone was able to make it worked? Will it eventually be supported? Thanks

I have a Netapp AFF C800 system with several network interfaces including 2 x 25Gbps 2-port cards. These 25Gbps ports are seen by Ontap as RDMA RoCE enabled. I created a LACP (IP based) portgroup by taking the first port of each of the 2 cards inside each controller. On the LACP portgroup a0a, the RDMA Protocol column no longer shows the RoCE entry as it did for the individual boards. When I go to create a LIF of type Data - NFS, SMB/CIFS and check the “Use RoCE ports” checkbox, I get the error message “A broadcast domain with RoCE-capable ports wasn't found”. So my question is this: is it possible to use RoCE on a LIF if Link Aggregation Groups are created? If so, how should I create the LAG in order to have RoCE? Or do I have to do it completely differently e.g., by not creating the lag? Thank you

We are currently using data SVM scoped NDMP backups using Commvault. We have about 6 data SVMs in an 8 node cluster. For reasons I don't recall, years ago we chose to configure NDMP at the data SVM level. Each data SVM is its own client computer in CV with appropriate agents (NDMP, Linux, or Windows) and subclients configured. We now are testing SVM-DR (which seems pretty cool) to a peered cluster in another datacenter. It has become apparent that CV needs to be configured at the cluster admin SVM level in order to do Intellisnap and backup the data when we fail over to the DR cluster. My question is, can NDMP be configured at both the cluster admin SVM level and at the data SVM levels and backup just the SVM-DR volumes via the cluster or is it an all or nothing sort of thing where I need to re-configure everything to backup that way? I'd like to backup just the SVM-DR via the cluster (for now) and leave the others where they.

Dear all, I am new to NetApp storage environment, i did not find any proper procedure or instructions to find VMs belongs to VMware or Hyper-V connected to which LUN, In system manager when I select my desired LUN to find which VMs connected to this LUN i can see three initiator groups and 17 initiators. people are saying we can find connected VMs through these igroups but i have no clue kindly guide me to find vms. my netapp version is 9.1p3. nivas
