Hello, We currently have a 4 node Netapp Cluster with a FAS8040 (being replaced with a FAS2720) & AFF300 with 1 DS2246 IOM6 Shelf with 24x1.6TB SSD drives with ADP enabled. The cluster is running 9.3P19. Currently there are two root aggregates and two data aggregates. All the SSD's are shared between both nodes in the HA pair and the existing disk shelf is ID 00. The new shelf is a DS224C with IOM12. My plan was to add the shelf on a separate SAS loop of 10 because its IOM 12 and different sizes. After I add the shelf's will Ontap be smart enough to create a shared aggregate with 11 of the 3.8TB SSDs, one spare, and split the storage between the nodes? Has anyone done this lately and have the best process? I will open a case too. My concerns are as follows: 1. I see the 1.6TB SSD drives being retired in the future and our root aggregates currently live on there. 2. What is the best way to setup the new aggregates and maybe move the root aggregates to the new drives. I have done this before with mechanical drives and it required a controller restart.

Tried to restore a volume from a snapvault system to the primary system as follows: pricluster> snapmirror restore -source-path drsvm:snapdemo1_DP -destination-path prisvm:snapdemo1 -source-snapshot snap2 The command failed, the primary volume ended up in a volume of type DP and snapmirror show-history shown: Additional Information> Failed to start transfer because compression is enabled on destination volume "prisvm:snapdemo1" . (Failed to start transfer. (Negotiation for using Storage Efficiency optimization failed because there is compression on the destination volume "3cd73296-af17-11ea-80db-00a098fe1a90:sanpdemo1")) The restore destination is a AFF300 system. ( ONTAP 9.6P3) snapvault source a fas8200 also ontap 9.6P3 Disabling inline and background compression didn`t change anything. Any idea how to solve this problem? Regards

"One or more vCenter instances cannot be reached, causing some information to be unavailable." appear GUI. We check ESX OK (PowerON) and accessble of ICMP. vCenter GUI looks ok( Both (two) esx server running)
