This thread is 6 years old, looks like they opened a support ticket. You should probably do the same if you currently have a node down.

Hi Nivas, I would start by ensuring you have ActiveIQ Unified Manager installed and configure to communicate with your NetApp Cluster(s) as well as vCenter(s). Once they are connected, it will tie things together so nicely and provide much more visibility into your environment. I can't speak to the Hyper-V side of things, sorry.

For anyone following along, Atish1 has jumped here from this thread. An implicit quota is one that is inherited from the volume, so you will have to edit at that level instead. To do this, under Storage, click Quotas, Rules then hover over the type next to the hosting volume's name, click the three dots and then click Edit. which should bring up the Edit Quota box:

Slide 59 of the MetroCluster for ONTAP 9.12.1 Technical Presentation indicates: Supports multiple storage stacks Supports up to 240 drives Can mix SSD and HDD disks so however you get there is up to you. You will be constrained by the maximum stack size on the controller however, if you were try to deploy 20xDS212c's, that won't work. There is also the following constraints: minimum 2 ATTO switches per stack, DR groups cannot share ATTO switches.

Not only would you need to access the node vserver (SVM) which I'm sure is restricted but I believe those volumes are technically 7-mode volumes. Now having said that, it seems like someone else was poking around at this here. That person seems to have found some clues.

Are you using a host name or IP address in SnapCenter? Same question, but in PuTTY. Do you have the proper credentials entered? SnapCenter will give the following error: If you have incorrect credentials or host type selected. If you are continuing to have problems, kindly provide a screenshot of the settings on the Add Host page.

I think that 80%-85% rule is outdated, I believe it's closer to 95% now. Much like my last reply to you, what versions are you running? OCUM is now called ActiveIQ Unified Manager. If the volume didn't autogrow as expected, verify the following volume properties: Maximum autosize Autosize Grow Threshold Percentage Autosize mode Primary Space Management Strategy As for getting more space in your aggregate, assuming adding disk is not an option, you could check if aggregate snapshots exist and delete them, enable cross volume deduplication, upgrade to 9.12.1 if on AFF, 9.14.1 if on FAS.

I don't actually believe this is possible because the LUN itself never recognizes the space savings. Efficiencies are only applied at the volume and aggregate levels, not the LUN which is technically a file on a volume. You can however over-provision the LUN and Enable Space Allocation which will allow ONTAP to notify the host when the hosting volume is full. Alternatively, you could provision either a CIFS Share or NFS Export instead which you could then allow Windows to see the true available space.

CHRISMAKI · ‎2023-12-19

What version of ONTAP or OnCommand Unified Manager are you running? The documentation you've linked to is very old and would not be valid for any recent version of ONTAP. If you're running something ~9.10+, then I believe you can do this in System Manager under Storage -> Volumes, click the volume containing the qtree in question, click the qtree in question and click the Edit Quota Rule button.

Joining stacks of shelves is indeed possible provided you don't exceed the stack limits. If the shelves are DS2246 or DS4246 you'll be fine, but the HDD limit per stack is 240 devices so if the shelf type is DS4486, you can only have 5 per stack. Also, remember that your FAS8200 has miniSAS-HD ports and the IOM6 shelves have QSFP ports, so you're going to need different cables to do the procedure below. Now, assuming you're good on shelf types and cables, on to the procedure: Abbreviations used below: Controller A or B -> CA, CB IOM-A or IOM-B -> IA, IB Shelf # -> S## You should currently have the following existing connections: CA:0a -> S01:IA:Square S01:IA:Circle -> S02:IA:Square ... S04:IA:Circle -> CB:0d (remove this) CA:0c -> S11:IA:Square (remove this) S11:IA:Circle -> S12:IA:Square ... S14:iA:Circle -> CB:0b Make New Connection: S04:IA:Circle -> S11:IA:Square (Requires QSFP/QSFP cable) Before continuing, wait a bit for SAS paths to settle. Existing connections: CB:0a -> S01:IB:Square S01:IB:Circle -> S02:IB:Square ... S14:IB:Circle -> CA:0d (remove this) CB:0c -> S11:IB:Square (remove this) S11:IB:Circle -> S12:IB:Square ... S14:IB:Circle -> CA:0b Make New Connection: S14:IB:Circle ->S11:IB:Square (Requires QSFP/QSFP cable) Before continuing, wait a bit for SAS paths to settle. Now the following ports should be free: CA:0c, CB:0d, CA:0d, CB:0c On both controllers, move the connection currently in 0b to 0d to maintain best practices. Now the following ports should be free: CA:0b, CB:0b, CA:0c, CB:0c Use these for your new shelf.

Regarding a link, a bunch of versions, including 9.8, are available here.

"Illegal Instruction" is typically a CPU incompatibility issue, seems like this person had the same problem: https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Ontap-Simulator-9-9-1-Not-Working/td-p/170112 Check the suggestions there, but I'm betting your CPU is at least 10 years old.

To get the most out of this, you'll use the layout recommended by Fusion, which unless you're a partner you won't have access to. But give all the non-root drives to one node.

NetApp Connect enables users to access on-premises data from existing enterprise collaboration, file synchronization, and share applications quickly and securely, across devices they choose to use. Enterprise information remains managed by your company and stored on premises. EOA August 2015

What documentation have you found regarding this? I was searching for this last week, the only docs I came across was this ancient NetApp Connect link.

Drives are assigned to controllers, aggregates are built upon drives.

I see by @SpindleNinja's screenshot that he's in either advanced mode or diagnostic, have you elevated your privileges @TMADOCTHOMAS?

How was Commvault used to migrate the data, was it orchestrating Snapmirror in the background, or was Commvault the actual data mover. Is it possible that Commvault either compressed or worse, encrypted the data, making it non-compressible to ONTAP? The instructions for running post-process sooner are in that KB pointed out above. Run a 0-day cold data scan: volume efficiency inactive-data-compression start -vserver <vserver> -volume <volume> -inactive-days 0

What do you have the baud rate set to? The newer platforms come configured at 115,200 and not the typical 9600.

Please refer to the firewall policy documents here.

Is the web server also listening unencrypted on port 80? If so, you could try reverting to HTTP.

This is going to try and make an HTTPS request to a host named "dir" which I'm assuming doesn't exist on your network. The command should be: storage firmware download -node * -package-url http://<web-server>/path/qual_devices.zip Where you've replaced <web-server> with a a host that you've uploaded the file to.
