Hi everyone,

we are experiencing an unusual behavior in our environment and would like to understand if anyone has encountered a similar situation or can suggest possible mitigations.

Through our SIEM, we are receiving a large number (hundreds/thousands) of failed login notifications against our Domain Controllers, with error code 0xC000006A (bad password).
These attempts appear to originate from our NetApp servers and are related to user access to network shares.

Questions:

• Have you ever experienced similar behavior in NetApp/ Active Directory environments?

• Are there any configurations or mechanisms to prevent these authentication loops (e.g., credential cache handling, session timeouts, specific GPOs)?

• Are there best practices or tools to quickly identify the exact source of these requests?

• Have you implemented effective mitigation strategies to reduce SIEM noise without losing relevant events?

Any suggestions or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to get my volume tags set via System Manager with the simple powershell cmdlet "get-ncVol", but "Tags" property is always empty.

I've also try the cmdlet with "-zapiCall" parameter, but having the same empty result.

10 node AFF Netapp cluster nodes highly utilized and unable to set maintenance window

Hi friends,
Need your valuable suggestion as always.
I have a 10 node cluster which is highly utilized all times. Among those 2 nodes are hitting 80% on regular basis. As this a critical cluster I am unable to set a maintenance window for ONTAP upgrade. Vol move activity are not possible at the moment as need to upgrade cluster by next week. Any valuable suggestions please let me how to proceed with maintenance window. Is there any critical parameter like IOPs, latency which I can look into for performance and decide to set maintenance window. It should be non disruptive upgrade and Host team should not have any downtime during the activity. ONTAP Version upgrade planned from 9.11.1p8 to 9.11.1p16 to 9.15.1p16,it is a multi hop upgrade.

At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, NVIDIA unveiled several groundbreaking technologies to accelerate AI adoption—not just improving performance but also providing greater energy efficiency. One standout announcement was the Inference Context Memory Storage (ICMS) platform, introduced during Jensen Huang’s keynote.

What is ICMS and Why Does it Matter?

ICMS targets gigascale AI inference environments and large AI factories, where models increasingly rely on iterative, multi-step reasoning that reuses context repeatedly. Traditionally, this context—stored in the KV cache (Key-Value Cache)—resided in each GPU’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM). In long-context, multi-turn inference, GPUs often regenerate the same context multiple times, wasting compute cycles and energy.

By enabling GPUs to retain and share context memory across inference processes, ICMS dramatically boosts tokens-per-second throughput and improves energy efficiency.

For a technical deep dive, see NVIDIA’s blog: Introducing NVIDIA BlueField-4 Powered Inference Context Memory Storage.

Where does ICMS fit in the Memory and Storage Hierarchy?

ICMS adds a new tier to the AI memory/storage hierarchy, designed specifically for transient inference context data. Current tiers include:

1. GPU memory (HBM) – nanosecond access
2. System RAM
3. Local flash storage (SSD)
4. Network storage – large-scale, shared datasets, protected, highly available, with enterprise grade data management. There are hierarchies within network storage layer as well (hot, warm, cold) to meet the performance requirements of applications at the lowest price and highest power efficiency.

As context cache grows beyond GPU memory capacity, it spills into RAM and SSDs. ICMS introduces a new tier 3.5 layer to scale mixture-of-experts (MoE) models involved in multi-step inferencing operations.

However, KV cache is ephemeral and may be recreated, though recreation has its own implied additional latencies for users. For a scalable inferencing system relying on hundreds of agents, each creating their own contexts, it would be important to save the query history, answer history, and context for any paused conversations on enterprise storage systems. Furthermore, AI still depends on durable, secure, high-performance enterprise storage for reference datasets, model training data, and other mission-critical assets. Protecting that data remains essential, and NetApp delivers industry-leading secure storage to meet those needs.

NVIDIA ICMS, NVIDIA BlueField-4, and the NetApp AI Data Engine

The NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE) is an end-to-end, storage-integrated AI data service that enables you to simplify and secure your AI data pipelines. AIDE helps you find relevant data across your enterprise, ensures that the data in your data pipeline is current and secure it with guardrails, and transform your data for usage with apps or agents.

ICMS is powered by the NVIDIA Bluefield-4 processor. This combination enables direct and efficient access to shared, external storage by GPU clusters. This architecture makes the KV entries available to GPUs quickly from networked storage so inferencing processes don’t need to recalculate the context. ICMS and BlueField-4 expand KV context reuse by storing them in shared storage accessible to all GPU nodes in the cluster.

The location index of KV entries is stored in the NVIDIA Bluefield-4 memory and synchronized across GPU nodes by NetApp storage orchestration. NetApp storage orchestration on the GPU node can help balance the load across all the external storage elements, while GPUDirect RDMA transfer from storage to GPU minimizes latency for accessing KV cache entries.

AIDE being part of this architecture further helps with low latency inferencing. The knowledge graph that can be exported by AIDE can act as an aggregator and work with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and other data sources to provide the required context for the prompt. Additionally, since the prompt and context pass through the aggregator even before reaching the LLM it helps predict the tokens and passes hints to the storage engine to prefetch the proper KV entries.

NVIDIA Bluefield-4, ICMS, and NetApp AIDE align to streamline AI data pipelines, accelerate TTFT (Time to First Token), and reduce $/token.

Looking Ahead

Per NVIDIA’s announcement, ICMS is expected to ship later in 2026. Over the next few weeks we will continue to share even more details on how NetApp and NVIDIA technologies can be combined to help customers maximize performance, efficiency, and value from their AI investments addressing both training and inferencing AI work streams. NetApp and NVIDIA have an extensive and long-lasting partnership and we are working closely to deliver the best co-designed solutions to help customers on their business transformation journeys leveraging the power of AI. Stay tuned for more on how NetApp will support the new BlueField-4 based architectures for AI workloads.

Hi Team,

I am inquiring about the configuration maximums for NetApp ONTAP storage, specifically in the context of Kubernetes and OpenShift environments.

My focus is on the following limits:

• The maximum number of NFS shares that can be created on an ONTAP system.

• The maximum number of Block Volumes (e.g., iSCSI/FC LUNs) that can be created on an ONTAP system.

• The maximum supported size of a single Block Volume on an ONTAP system.

The background for these questions is to understand the physical storage constraints that apply to Kubernetes/OpenShift users. When users request storage space via a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC), the request (including the desired Persistent Volume (PV) size) is passed from the container platform layer to ONTAP through Trident, NetApp's CSI Driver.

While Kubernetes/OpenShift does not impose inherent limits on the count or size of PVCs/PVs, the underlying hardware storage system's limitations will ultimately govern these maximums. Therefore, I need to know the specific configuration maximums of ONTAP to inform our planning and deployment.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, 

I want to run ndmpcopy from one volume to another on the same netapp, but I want to make sure that files that may already exist on the destination netapp are not duplicated and overfill the volume to 100%

Earlier I ran: node run -node node1 ndmpcopy -sa ndmpuser:yMGg5d0LyUG8l1kn -da ndmpuser:yMGg5d0LyUG8l1kn 10.63.107.200:/svm2/vol1 10.63.107.200:/svm2/vol2

But this resulted in the destination netapp being overfilled to 100%. Is there a way to make sure this doesn't happen? 

Both source volume had 500GB of storage and it was 66% full, the destination volume is also 500GB and was at 25% full.

I am wondering what the community at large is using for gathering and/or data-mine their NetApp product logs?

I'll start, I fall into the: I'm not yet, but it topping my on-the-side to-do list and I've have started looking.

Hello, Netapp Team!

Every day I dive deeper into the NetApp universe, but I miss a major in-person event here in Brazil. Imagine a NetApp INSIGHT on Brazilian soil! It would be the perfect opportunity to exchange experiences and learn from the experts. NetApp team, here's your suggestion and our interest! 😉 #NetApp #Technology #Community #Innovation #ITBrasil

Everson Nascimento

Our customer has several FAS8300 and FAS2750 systems, using SnapMirror to protect volumes onto a FAS2720. All the destination DP volumes corresponding to the volumes on the FAS2750 are located on the FAS2720’s aggr_01_SAS_1. Now that this aggregate has run out of space, can some of the DP volumes be migrated to another aggregate aggr_02_SAS_1 using XCP?

If the current aggregate is already full, are there any other methods to migrate the DP volumes?

I have a script that I'm trying to convert from using ZAPI over to Rest.  Most things seem to work so far with the exception of when I use get-ncvol and it only returns a subset of the volumes.  I'm not able to find the pattern here as to how it picks/chooses.  

at first I thought it was a hard limit on how many volumes would get returned but the number returned keeps changing even if I run the exact same command.    always around 100 but sometimes it's 115 and others it's 97 ect..   as far as I can tell this issue is unique to the volume pull.. I get 8000 qtree's when I try and pull all of those without issue.  

#update

I just tried against a different netapp cluster and it returned all of the volumes.  so this seems to maybe be an issue with just

this cluster.  #version
NetApp Release 9.14.1P12: Tue Mar 25 23:16:26 UTC 2025

##update update 

I just tried a 3rd cluster with over 2000 volumes on it and only 41 returned.  Same version of ontap. 

I am migrating old CentOS VMs running MySQL 5.x to MySQL 8.0.x that will run on Rocky 8 or 9.

I am installing mysql 8.0.x on the CentOS first, so I can verify all database files are updated and working.

Mysql 8 keeps reading the NetApp .snapshot folder as databases and throwing errors and stopping.

For some reason, this was not an issue in Mysql 5.x.

I did some research and I believe mysql 8 does not have the ignore directory setting anynore

Has anyone had and solved this issue ?

Thank you.

Hi. 

Good day. 

I need information concerning replication on NetApp. 

I have a controller at the DR site I want to replicate from. Obviously the data port IP address would be different from that at the production. 

Now I want to bring the storage at the DR for base replication. Do I have to change the IP addresses for management or the data ports to create a new replication, start it, then break? 

Thanks in advance. 

I was just going through automating AV connector password reset and found there is a KB which explains the same.

What are the options available as Antivirus Connector Command Line Switches - NetApp Knowledge Base

Able to test this successfully, but the below command is giving error. Says 'Invalid command line argument /testPassword'

Test password:

Good day to everyone:

In the Partner Hub there is some recommended and additional training that seems to be outdated, I've been using the docs.netapp.com and looking at some Technical Reports, but would like to see if anyone has any recommendations.

Hello 

Is there a place where I can access the Netapp Online Labs ? I used to practicing online labs on https://labondemand.netapp.com/ but unfortunalty now i can't access those labs since my company is a Silver Netapp partner & according to Netapp those labs are avaible to Gold and above parterens only . so if there's any other online labs avaialble please let me know   

Thanks

Hi All,

I want to check here, is it any available/supported 10GB RJ-45 transceiver that can connect to current UTA2 port on the FAS2750 model? I've try search on the HWU universe, there is only available 1GB RJ-45 transceiver supported and none of 10GB supported. 

Can anyone advise on this? We plan to use the port for the Snap Mirror LIF ports and we have a dedicated 10G ethernet port that we plan to use as private network for Snap Mirror replication.

Hi all,

Just for asking for the supported 10G RJ45 transceiver for FAS2750 for the UTA port of e0e and e0f.  I have the cisco 10G RJ45 transceiver (as per below model). Can check whether supported on the FAS2750? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it's possible to know who deleted a folder or a file with windows explorer (CIFS) on the NetApp.

Is it possible to watch this with logs or job history ?

Thank you !

 Hi All,

I just need some clarification here from any expert here regarding to my NetApp AFF C250 setup. 

Below is my queries:

1) If let say i have 8 disk on my current new AFF C250 and we set-up the aggregate when using the system manager,  the default RAID that automatically assigned by the NetApp is RAID-DP right? and will be have 2 parity disk and 6 disk for data. Is it correct?

2) Is it the ADP feature is available if I configure the RAID-DP type in the AFF C250? 

Appreciate if anyone can give an input on my queries. Thanks

Hello,

Hope you are healthy and doing well.

Could you please tell me how many attempts are allowed to NetApp Test Drives. I have shared the Test Drives link below.

For me NetApp has stopped sending link to Test Drive on one of the lab. Hence, I would like to NetApp policy on lab attempts.

https://www.netapp.com/test-drives/

Trying to setup a remote NetApp on our network but am unable to ssh to it or access the webpage. I am able to ping and the local technicians are able to access the webpage. Firewalls are not blocking port 443 or 22 traffic. I've had the technicians disable the NetApp firewall entirely but that didn't help. I've done test-netconnection -port and the test for HTTPS and SSH fails on the NetApp, but when I test it on their gateway it succeeds. Is there some setting on the NetApp that I'm missing that could prevent remote users from accessing it?

Hi,

To connect controller AFF A300 with DS224C disk shelf, I want to know, can I use SAS hard drives in the disk shelf. Does AFF A300 controller supports SAS hard drives, as I see in tech specs of AFF A300, it mentions only SSD.

I am planning to add a new DS4246 disk shelf to an existing 6 node FAS8040. We have installation services and I need to answer the question:

"Please confirm if this shelf will be added to an existing loop or will a new loop needed to be created"

Any information is appreciated.
