device: NetApp A220 In our staging environment, I ran through the initial management network configure via the USB connected console, then configured the everything else via the web portal (data NICs, SVM, first LUN). I did this in order to document the process for production. I realize that there is way to reset the configuration and wipe the disks in a secure way. There is no sensitive data on the SAN. Is there any way to get the configuration back to the way I received it initially without requiring a secure wipe of the disks (hours of unnecessary zerorizing). i.e., I would like to use the exactly same steps I followed when I first configured the device to deploy it in production as it will be an audited process. I found this link that seems to be ok but I heard in some situations resetting to factory config leaves the SAN in a state that is not always the way the vendor shipped it e.g., licenses may be preloaded from the vendor: https://dailysysadmin.com/KB/Article/8724/how-to-wipe-or-decommission-a-netapp-san-to-clear-config-and-wipe-or-zero-disks/ thanks in advance!

We have 2 Shares on same Vserver, we were able to connect to both shares at same time with different service account credentials , but now only one at a time is getting connected. While connecting with IP's it is working fine, but not with names i have found the below KB Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user is not allowed error while accessing CIFS share - NetApp Knowledge Base [kb.netapp.com] But still have queries How both the shares using same vserver were accessible from the same source server via different credentials from the migration date till now . Please note the team was using the named CIFS path for i2q and Tips shares. Is there any way to set the primary and secondary on the share level? we should not use the Ip addresses directly. The naming convention should be used. Please advise.

We have enabled SNMP on all of our NetApp clusters over the years. Now I would like to disable it as I'm aware it is considered insecure. Is there any loss of functionality in the following NetApp tools / features if I disable it? Is there any way to easily determine if it's being used in some way?
