Hi, Just for asking for any expert here. For the ADP configuration that configured from factory is root-data-data-partitioning on the AFF C250 or any AFF system, is it possible to change it to root-data partitioning like the FAS entry level such as FAS 8200, etc.? Thanks

I currently have a FAS2554 with a number of Volumes and NFS and CIFS shares provisioned. I'd like to migrate all of these to a new AFF A220. Has anyone been through a similar process ? What tools did you use to achieve this ?
Just looking for some pointers on the best way forward !
Thanks.

Hello, running vSphere (simple setup 3 hosts) with AFF150 for NFS VM serving to hosts and iscsi for SnapManager and few other things. Got to upgrade to something else on switching side and on table are two setups: - aruba 8360v2 - extreme 7520 The only difference visible I was able to find is: "Advanced lossless pool configuration Global buffering statistics Storage Solution Support iSCSI, Lossless iSCSI, RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCE v1 and v2) and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe over Fabrics)" https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a50002121enw https://extr-p-001.sitecorecontenthub.cloud/api/public/content/b5da59835f5d4d10b740208284c8bc09?v=1a1ceae6 Cost difference is cca 35% (Extreme is cheaper) so questions is whether these protocols are important on long run (I see A20 is out and this is probably be replacement for existing A150). What is your take on this? Is is worth of spending 35% more?

Hello, I've recently corrected an issue encountered on one of my user's AFF-A200 systems. The short of it is they exchanged an incorrect key with the AFF-A200 during system boot. This happened the prerequisite amount of times for the disks to be failed somewhat permanently. I was able to revert the disks to their original state by using the procedures listed here: https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-cm-cmpr-930%2Fstorage__encryption__disk__revert-to-original-state.html However, this procedure required me to insert the disks into an operational cluster in order to revert them (we were lucky enough to have one capable of reverting the disks). Is there a different procedure that can be performed to revert these disks without having a booted CDoT system? Perhaps from maintenance mode? I understand that loss of data in occurrences such as these is a by-product of exchanging the wrong key and I don't require a recovery of any data, just a factory reset of failed disks.
