Have a new FAS2720. Previously had a 2220 that was using 7-mode. This FAS2720 is my first experience with clustered mode and the "new" (to me anyway) version of ontap. The SVM method is definately new to me and the way you configure interfaces is somewhat different to 7-mode.
I have created an SVM that has both NFS and iSCSI for the purpose of attaching hosts directly to the netapp (ie, vmware and iscsi directly from servers).
When I create an interface and choose the proper SVM, I am unable to choose both NFS and iSCSI, if I choose one it then greys out the other. Apparently, it wants me to only run one of these protocols on a single interface at one time, it doesnt appear to want iSCSI and NFS being shared.
However, what I can do, is it will let me created two separate interfaces, 1 for NFS and then 1 for iSCSI, that both have the SAME IP address. In 7-mode I had 1 IP address as the connection point for all services which was simple and clean in my mind.
Is this acceptable to use a single IP ? Or should I be using separate IP addresses for both of these NFS and iSCSI interfaces?
