Hello Netapp Gurus For last 2 weeks every monday we have been noticing the backup is failing with below error Error creating snapshot epic-20231010000246: NetApp API failed. Reason - 307:Failed to create snapshot \"epic-20231010000246\" of volume \"####\" on Vserver \"####\". Reason: Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime. An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: netapp_lib.api.zapi.zapi.NaApiError: NetApp API failed. Reason - 307:Failed to create snapshot "epic-20231010000246"of volume "#### on Vserver "####". Reason: Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime. fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error creating snapshot epic-20231010000246: NetApp API failed.

The application team had to execute a manual backup at 8:00 hrs which was successful. I need to identify why the snapshot is failing with this error. Unfortunately I am not able to find it in Ontap and Ansible logs. Any leads? I raised a case with Netapp but was asked to post the question here.

Good day. We have an AFF a220 and we are concern with hosting a VM on it via vSphere that has a Windows database application, PostgreSQL, that could potentially shorten the lifetime of the SAN. We realize that SSD drives have a limited number of writes however the SANs like the AFF models are optimized to mitigate the number of writes to disk required. At least from reading this article (Optimized Write Performance): https://community.netapp.com/t5/Tech-ONTAP-Articles/All-Flash-FAS-A-Deep-Dive/ta-p/87211 1) Should we be concerned about hosting our database app VM on the SAN and wearing out our SAN disks sooner? 2) If so, do you have any recommendations for SAN configuration such as RAID mode that may lengthen the lifetime of the SSDs in the SAN to mitigate the increased number of writes? thank you in advance!

Hello All, Recently had a NetApp Engineer come and perform professional services for us by configuring/installing a NetApp AFF-A150 on our domain as a file share. I thought we had the share all figured out prior to him leaving, but I am now running into some issues when I am trying to change both the security permissions at the top level share and also to all subsequent folders. In the System Manager GUI, I was able to add users and groups with full control, and it appears the NetApp found the objects successfully in our AD, as I misspelled one of them causing it to not take the object, and upon fixing the name it took it. Back on the share, I manually added these same users/groups under the security tab for the share properties window, and it was able to replicate those permissions to all files/folders in the share but the permission for those users/groups is set to Read & Execute, List folder contents, and Read only. When I try to change any of them to full control, it errors out saying "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied". Any ideas on what to try next?

Hello All, I am filling out some change request documents for our new AFF-A150 install that we are doing later this month. Data center documentation is requesting the Max Current in ampere of the device, presumably for power allocation per rack. I have thus far been unable to identify this statistic - the only thing close that I could find was the "Power Consumption (Median)" which was 300W. I found some old data center documentation from previous tech refreshes, where my predecessor had put "6.3" for our most recent install of an AFF-A220 and "4.7" for a FAS2520. Searching for these numbers and these systems have also not yielded any results. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
