Exciting news! NetApp customer Willis Towers Watson (WTW) has been named the Overall Winner in Digital Infrastructure by the prestigious IDC Future Enterprise North America Awards. About the Awards The IDC Future Enterprise Award for Digital Infrastructure recognizes the organization that is leading the use of digital infrastructure to transform their business, engage customers and employees, and accelerate business innovation. The submission centered on how NetApp enabled WTW to successfully migrate from on-premises data centers to the cloud, resulting in streamlined data access, reduced costs, improved user experience, and scalability—all while maintaining data integrity and security. NetApp Cloud Sync: WTW utilized the syncing capabilities of NetApp Cloud Sync to seamlessly migrate heterogeneous storage, including entire data sets (application and file-share data), to Azure Cloud. Cloud Volumes ONTAP for Azure: CVO played a crucial role as the backbone of the project. It provided scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure, allowing WTW to securely consolidate silos of file servers into a cohesive global storage footprint in Azure. Congrats on the win, WTW!

I have a volume that I want to move from one tiered aggregate to another, just created, tiered aggregate. The volume's footprint looks like this:
Total Footprint: 5.45TB Total Footprint Percent: Containing Aggregate Size: 5.32TB Name for bin0: Performance Tier Volume Footprint for bin0: 143.8GB Volume Footprint bin0 Percent: 3% Name for bin1: S3Bucket Volume Footprint for bin1: 5.27TB Volume Footprint bin1 Percent: 97%
I was under the impression that I could move this volume from one tiered aggregate to another, and the only thing that would move would be the 143.8GB in the Performance Tier, but that is not what is happening. The volume move is moving the entire volume. Shouldn't the move just be copying the 143.8GB in bin0?

Hello Data that was being loaded into on-premise storage is also being loaded into the CVO environment. I expected the same efficiency ratio as on-premise. However, even though the data is in the same format, the efficiency ratio is found to be 0 in CVO. (excluding snapshots)

Hello, We launch a Ontap upgrade (from 9.12.1P9 to 9.13.1P9), just by changing the following line in tf filer: #ontap_version = "ONTAP-9.12.1P9.T1.gcpha" ontap_version = "ONTAP-9.13.1P9.T1.gcpha" The terrform pipeline applied failed with a timeout error after 1h: ERROR: Job failed: execution took longer than1h0m0s seconds Even if the pipeline failed, the Ontap upgrade was done successfully on the CVO HA We have run again the pipeline until the “Plan” phase only and the pipeline is planning to go for Ontap upgrade again. How to have synchronization in between the terraform state and the CVO state ? Should we “apply” again the Ontap upgrade or "import" the CVO state in terraform ? We have increase the project level time out: Was 1h Is now 2h. Thank you for you help, Regards VG
