Good Morning, and thank you for your help in advance to my first post request.  FAULT - Intermitted interface connection drop out from NFSv4 clients and ping request.   Overview - we have approx. 200 HPC servers connecting to a FAS8200 HA pair running clustered ontap 9.5P8, the clients are load balanced to both nodes via their IP addresses from the client side. the nodes have 1 HPC only interface consisting of 2 physical ports using multimode. node 1 interface losing connectivity to all clients connected to it, its very intermittent and shows no pattern or logic like load issues. we have no errors on interfaces, ports , nodes -nothing , same with network (clients and Nodes are off the same physical switch and same VLAN), no errors from client side other than losing connectivity which lasts a few seconds to a couple of min. we have even done packet analysis on the interface and this shows nothing other than a complete stop in communication. i have even moved interface to node 2 and the fault migrates to it (indicating no filer hardware issues)   has anyone experience anything like this before, HPC and network engineers adamant no fault there either ? ...

I have a netapp: ModelPart Description F2240-2-12X450-CTL-R5 FAS2240-2,12x450GB,CTL,R5 and the OnCommand System right now tells me it is running Version 8.1RC3 7 Mode. How do I upgrade the firmware and what is the latest compatible version?   And step 2: How do I reset the configuration completely to reconfigure it for a simple NFS3 or iSCSI access from 3 ESXi hosts?   Console cable is available, I can also telnet into the unit right now.

Hello, We have a metrocluster with snaplock enterprise license. Some files were wrongly committed to WORM and we would like to use privileged delete feature. In order to used that feature, we must create an audit log on a snaplock volume. If I understand the doc, the audit log will inherit retention of the affected files: Note: The minimum default retention period for audit log files is six months. If the retention period of an affected file is longer than the retention period of the audit log, the retention period of the log inherits the retention period of the file. So, if the retention period for a file deleted using privileged delete is 10 months, and the retention period of the audit log is 8 months, the retention period of the log is extended to 10 months. The output of the audit log create command makes me concerned about having a number of drives indelible and unusable (WORM retention period is years...) Warning: You have selected a SnapLock Enterprise volume as an audit log volume. You will not be able to delete the volume and the hosting aggregate until the volume expires. Do you want to continue? {y|n}: n   I was thinking to create a small aggregate for this purpose... Could someone please clarify if there will be any way to force aggregate deletion?  Thank you  Lorenzo ... View more
