Hello team, I open this query to see if you can help me. In a situation in which there is a server with 14 disks (1TB each) that form a DDP with 2 parity disks and 1 preservation capacity disk, theoretically 11TB of total storage would be available. By default, an alert is added with a threshold of 85% occupancy. Bearing this information in mind, is it necessary to have some additional % available to avoid a performance loss or could 100% of the remaining space be used? Thank you very much. Regards

Hi team, one of my customer use storage-DE2000H, and the customer found below vulnerabilities in the Lenevo DE2000H. Vulnerability:SSH Weak Key Exchange Algorithms Enabled "the customer mentioned that storage devices are being performed an authenticated scan by Nessus vulnerability tool and reporting this vulnerability. Please let us know what would be the workaround to fix this one" [system infor] DE2000H is an OEM of NetApp E-series product. ThinkSystem Storage Manager EMW Version: 11.62.00.9009 Report Date: Thu Jun 30 07:09:20 UTC 2022 I have checked Netapp documents, I 'm not able to find the information about this vulnerabilities. I really appreciated if you could you please provide information for this questions? the below KB mentioned that "SSH is not a supported management protocol for E-Series devices.". if the SSH is disabled by default,the product will not affected by this Vulnerability, is it correct?

To manage the storage array, there is SANtricity for GUI based management or SMcli for the command line. For support procedures, occasional Telnet or SSH access is required. However, it is not possible to use Telnet/SSH for day-to-day operations. ======================== [I have checked below KB ] ================ Is SSH a supported management protocol for E-Series devices? https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Systems/E-Series_Storage_Array/Is_SSH_a_supported_management_protocol_for_E-Series_devices ================ ========================== How to enable or disable remote login on E-Series Storage Systems https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Systems/E-Series_Storage_Array/How_to_enable_or_disable_remote_login_on_E-Series_Storage_Systems ========================== Thanks and regards wenhai

Hi, we have a controller pair (out of support since EoApril, unfortunately) which went into an LJ lockdown. AFAICS that comes from a logical failure of the Config Database. That condition started in timely vicinity of a disk replacement. The storage is organized in disk pools ("declustered arrays"). I did not notify the issue immediately as I was replacing more disks in other storage systems. I do also not completely recall whether the LJ lockdown was the initial state after the failure set on; I realized it only after resetting the controllers. However, they were unreachable via their admin IFs before the reset. The meaning of the LJ code is "The controller has insufficient memory to support the current configuration". We tried resetting the system in different variants (resetting one controller while the other kept running, resetting one controller with the respective other one removed, all with the newly inserted disk in or removed, respectively. We also tried running lemClearLockdown. The controllers always run into the same lockdown. I suspect the database has gotten some (invalid) entry which confuses the CRUSH setup, which can also be derived from the boot messages visible at the serial console which include: 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): WARN: Error threshold exceeded: "Client_Crush_Invalid_Memory_Config" 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): WARN: LEM:Client threshold Exceeded 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): NOTE: LEM: checkError(); Error threshold exceeded;SUSPENDED_LOCKDOWN; 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): WARN: sodLockdownCheck: sodSequence update: SuspLockdown 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): NOTE: Inter-Controller Communication Channels Opened 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): WARN: Error threshold exceeded: "Client_Crush_Invalid_Memory_Config" 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): WARN: Client reported lockdown: "Client_Crush_Invalid_Memory_Config" 05/25/22-11:53:06 (tRAID): NOTE: Flashing tray summary fault LED The memory of the controllers has of course not been changed by us. While we do have data backups, the controller pair contributes to the storage of file systems with about 11 PB, and if ever possible we would not want to restore from tape as that would probably take very long. We'd rather want to fix the supposed issue with the database. We found stored database exports from both controllers which were very likely initiated by the StorageManager (located in /var/opt/SM/monitor/dbcapture/, last ones from Jan 12 this year). I have to find out whether disks were replaced after that; if not (except for the recent one) I hope removing that lastly installed disk and replaying the config from January could do the trick. However, I do not know how to transfer and activate an exported database dump via the serial line. If there are other/better ways to overcome our problem, I'd be glad to learn about them. BTW: we are also trying to get Netapp involved, but as we purchased these systems as OEM we are not yet there. Sincerely ufa

Does NetApp EF300SASExpansion support file-level storage? or is it strictly block-level storage? I am unable to find options for configuring the NAS volumes on array UI
