Dear Experts,

I am new to this Community and I am looking for some steps on how to create a SnapMirror ( Site to Site Replication) both our Sites Identical Replica of AFF700 with 9.3 P1 running on it and we are using it as a Unified Array ( Block & File ) 

Appreciate any help or any technical kb article that shows the procedure. 

Thank You

Hi All,

I want to know if upgrading BES-53248 requires updating the RCF profile?

From 3.8.0.2 to 3.9.0.2.

Thanks.

Hello All,

We have got 15 new NetApp Arrays under our managed services. We want to start billing for NAS so as to bring the loading revenue.  How to go about this.  What are the steps and models available.  Please suggest.

Thank You.

Hello,

We have a metrocluster with snaplock enterprise license. Some files were wrongly committed to WORM and we would like to use privileged delete feature.
In order to used that feature, we must create an audit log on a snaplock volume. If I understand the doc, the audit log will inherit retention of the affected files:

Note: The minimum default retention period for audit log files is six months. If the retention period of an affected file is longer than the retention period of the audit log, the retention period of the log inherits the retention period of the file. So, if the retention period for a file deleted using privileged delete is 10 months, and the retention period of the audit log is 8 months, the retention period of the log is extended to 10 months.

The output of the audit log create command makes me concerned about having a number of drives indelible and unusable (WORM retention period is years...)

Warning: You have selected a SnapLock Enterprise volume as an audit log volume. You will not be able to delete the volume and the hosting aggregate until
         the volume expires.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: n

I was thinking to create a small aggregate for this purpose...

Could someone please clarify if there will be any way to force aggregate deletion? 

Thank you

Hi,

Can I have an MetroCluster IP using AFF (like A400 or A800) with active-passive cluster, I mean, one cluster has all pool0 disks and the other cluster has all pool1 disks?

When I tried to do that on Fusion, I can´t change aggregate configuration, so it seems to me that I can´t have active-passive cluster using MCC IP and AFF.

Can anyone clarify this to me?

Regards, Rafael.

hello everyone

we have two sides with fabric attached metrocluster and we have 2 dark fiber links between them both links physically up but when we run ic status command we get:

ic status
        Link 0: down
        Link 1: up
        cfo_rv connection state :                       CONNECTED
        cfo_rv nic used :                               1
        cfo_rv2 connection state :                      CONNECTED
        cfo_rv2 nic used :                              1

when i run sysconfig -a command :,

my question link is up and port is down this normal or not and what the solution.

regards.

Does anybody know if such numbers are available? I have a customer asking. I would believe that this would depend on the underlying hypervisor and hardware. Anyone agree?

Hi all,

i have a strech metrocluster composed like that :

 - 2 FAS 8020

 - 2 DS2246 (24x900)

As this is a "strech", there is no ATTO, only many fibers between them. Looking behind it i can see cabling is quite complicated, we are going from Controller to shelf from each side (i did it some years ago, never tried again )

We only would like to add one shelf on each side, but do not replicate . It should be seen as storage only by the "local" controler

Do i have to change all the cabling to integrate the new shelf into a kind of daisy chain, or could i use free SAS port on the controler to have this 2 new shelves plugged simply (i have 2 free ports one integrated 0B and one on an additionnal card)

Many thanks for you help

Hello,

I guess that there no issue but I would like to be sure that it's supprted to have the MC Tiebreaker in the Cloud?

Best regards.
