Hi All, How to beat Pure? I mean this case my client wonders about two offerts. First offerts is my on ASA A400 and second one Pure X50 or X70. What arguments to use to show that NetApp is better? My first think is that ASA can clustering, but what else? Regarts MichuR

Hi weve got a C250 in the setup phase currently and by looking at the below KB the HA and Interconnect cabling is shared on the e0c and e0d HA interconnect procedure guide for ASA, AFF and FAS platforms - NetApp Knowledge Base i was told by the NetApp presale that there is a work around by seperating the HA and IC ports, we have an additional FC mezzanine card on the C250 for both nodes so i wanted to use 2 ports from that to seperate the HA and IC. I asked how to set it up and was told the "move the port" using the below KB How to move a cluster port from one port to another in ONTAP? - NetApp Knowledge Base wouldnt this defeat the purpose of sepearting? i wanted to use e0c/e0d for HA and e2a and e2c port for cluster interconnect. im really confused on how to set it up, is the above procedure correct? is there a specific procedure to set up "this port is for cluster interconnect" or does moving or adding port automatically recognize the port is used for HA and IC? TIA

Hi all, we have to manage a FAS 2240 with a broken controller. we had the full procedure to do that but we need to find the original netboot.tgz and the image file to complete the restore procedure, but we are unable to find anywhere that files, because the netapp repository doesn't have. Can someone of you support us in this search? actualy we have a 8.1.2 7-mode installation on the first contrller in failover mode. Thanks to all of you.

Good morning, We have had to change the controller in one of our FAS2552 and we are complaining about a licensing (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP). It didn't happen to us before. Can someone help us how to recover the license or how to put it in again. Thank you.
