Hi Team, We having AFF8020 , version 9.7P22 (the support contract is done for this system) We've noticed already 3-4 times, that files disappeared (now we'll notice if it's happening every night, or once in few nights). The 1st time it happened, we've first created a clone from week ago snapshot to keep it in the side if the 'restore' won't work, and then we restored the original volume to few days ago, and the files got back. From the UI, I can't see something strange. But, now there is a strange thing, that I see that few new folders created/edited on the time 00:00. we didn't created it. it looks like some k8s/contect libraries directories maybe. don't know So I suspect it's one of 2 things : 1. something related to snapshot etc. 2. maybe there is some system that this volume is mounted to it, and it's doing some changed in 00:00. but I can't see it from the UI logs I do saw some similar topic here :https://community.netapp.com/t5/Ask-The-Experts/Files-disappear-from-NetApp-2220-every-day-at-00-00/td-p/153164 So I'm already showing here the command that the supporter asked there. ** editing - I see both on May 22, and May 30, the following error on the "event log show" 5/30/2024 00:03:58 ntn01-netapp01-b ERROR disk.dynamicqual.fail.parse: Device qualification information file (/etc/qual_devices) is invalid. The following error, " Unsupported File version detected. " has been detected. For further information about correcting the problem, search the knowledgebase of the NetApp technical support support web site for the "[disk.dynamicqual.fail.parse]" keyword. 5/30/2024 00:00:00 ntn01-netapp01-b ERROR mgmtgwd.certificate.expired: A digital certificate with Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) aff, Serial Number 52D2566E1F3FF, Certificate Authority 'aff' and type server for Vserver ntn01-netapp01 has expired. 5/30/2024 00:00:00 ntn01-netapp01-b ERROR mgmtgwd.certificate.expired: A digital certificate with Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) AFF_SAN_DEFAULT_SVM, Serial Number 52D2794F809E9, Certificate Authority 'AFF_SAN_DEFAULT_SVM' and type server for Vserver ntn01-netapp-04 has expired. 5/29/2024 23:14:01 ntn01-netapp01-a ERROR disk.dynamicqual.fail.parse: Device qualification information file (/etc/qual_devices) is invalid.

Hi all, I having an issue on space discrepancies between storage LUN and end host space (LUN that mapped on windows server). After go through some research, I found out that required to enable the space allocation on thin LUN to make host-side space management identifies blocks of data that have been deleted on the host file system allow ONTAP to reclaim space. I've already enable the setting for space allocation and just want to ask few asking here after we enable the feature. 1) After we enable the space allocation feature/setting in the LUNs and already verify the features is already enabled, how long can we can expect to see the reflect of space on the storage LUN will align/tally with the space available in the host end? Please advise as I need to understand what the result we can expect after enabled the space allocation feature. Tahnks

Hi Team , we're using physical used capacity to compute various metrics. We've observed that for some volumes, the used capacity and physical used capacity values are the same, while for others, they differ. Here are the details from our NetApp system (version 9.13): ``` A250::> volume show -fields size, available, total, used, physical-used vserver volume size available total used physical-used ------- ---------- ------- --------- ------- ------- ------------- A250-01 vol0 151.3GB 72.74GB 143.7GB 70.99GB 68.25GB A250-02 vol0 151.3GB 77.03GB 143.7GB 66.70GB 62.60GB svm1 Lun_1 2.06GB 2.06GB 2.06GB 632KB 632KB svm1 Lun_test_3 10.30GB 10.30GB 10.30GB 692KB 692KB svm1 svm1_root 1GB 970.3MB 972.8MB 2.48MB 7.96MB ``` We've tried to understand the reasons behind this discrepancies but couldn't get a clear explanation. Could you please help us understand about this volume capacity values. Thank You !

Hi everyone, We're currently investigating some significant differences in the reported physical used capacity between NetApp versions 9.13 and 9.14 and would appreciate your insights. In version 9.13, when querying the physical used capacity using the CLI command volume show -volume Apr* -fields size,available,total,used,physical-used, we received the following results: vserver volume size available total used physical-used -------- ----------- ------- --------- ------- ----- ------------- NetApp_2 Apr_ss_15gb 17.89GB 17.89GB 17.89GB 340KB 340KB NetApp_2 Apr_ss_70gb 78.86GB 78.86GB 78.86GB 308KB 308KB However, when querying the same information in version 9.14 with the same CLI command, volume show -volume Apr* -fields size,available,total,used,physical-used,we observed a notable increase in the reported physical used capacity: vserver volume size available total used physical-used -------- ----------- ------- --------- ------- ----- ------------- NetApp_2 Apr_ss_15gb 17.89GB 17.89GB 17.89GB 468KB 17.99GB NetApp_2 Apr_ss_70gb 78.86GB 78.86GB 78.86GB 456KB 79.30GB We're trying to understand the reasons behind this discrepancy: What constitutes physical used capacity in NetApp? What changes were made between versions 9.13 and 9.14 that could account for the differences in physical used capacity? What additional data is included in the calculation of physical used capacity in version 9.14 compared to version 9.13? Where can we find documentation or resources detailing these changes to better understand how to interpret the physical used metric in our storage environment? Any insights or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.!
