Is it possible to choose which path the mirrors replicate data on. I have two eseries direct attached on e0b that I would like to use for replication.

Hi all,
We have a netapp 5350 Model 0833 where one disk failed and after purchasing the same disk/model the storage recognizes as incompatible. The only difference I can see is the firmware, is it correct? If so, any suggestion of where to download it?
Sorry if it is a newbie question but I haven't been finding good answers, maybe my keywords are wrong.

Hello everyone, Around 5 years ago, I installed a SAN to serve as a repository for the VMs from 2 VMware servers. It was my first time working with a SAN, so I had numerous issues (post below). https://community.netapp.com/t5/EF-E-Series-SANtricity-and-Related-Plug-ins/First-storage-installation-NetApp-e-2824-questions-about-iSCSI-performance/m-p/141702#M619%3Fref_source=cty-other%20campaign%20%7Budf%7D--1957 At the end of the installation, the performance was acceptable, so we decided to stick with that. We used 1GB/s connections between the SAN (that had 10GB/s NICs), a switch, and the 2 VMware servers. Our needs increased and we had to keep adding VMs to that system and it started to be slow. I decided to do an upgrade and added 2 x 10GB/s switches and 10GB/s NICs to the 2 VMware servers, so right now all pieces of equipment in that environment are connected at 10GB/s instead of 1GB/s. I expected that just doing that, would give me not only HA (I added a separate path to each of those 2 switches) but also an increase in performance, but that hasn't happened and the performance seems kind of the same. We're currently using active/passive in VMware NICs and DelayedAck is disabled. Does anyone have any idea on what else I can investigate or if it has any good practice that I could now be aware of? Thanks, Carlos

Hi, we would like to monitor all the parameters of the netapp e-series with snmp. Is this possible? Can anyone tell us where we can find the documentation? Thanks
