Hello all, Just reaching out to the community for help to see if you have experience the following: Both times we have upgraded our ONTAP node 2 has crashed. 1st time NetApp is saying we hit a bug because we have flexgroup and that it would not happen again. However we just upgraded again and node panic again this time still looking for root cause but I am certain is same flexgroup issue. Please let me know if you have seen this. first upgrade was to 9.9.1P8 June 2022 second upgrade was to 9.10.1p9 January 2023 both time node 2 panic.

Folks,
Please, could anyone share an example PowerShell command syntax or script snip on how to automate creating CIFS shares for CDOT? We need to migrate 2008 user's shares to new FAS, but the problem we have more than a 1000 old users that still have hidden user shares and must be preserved, (dont' ask, its a requirement :)). Data migration is done via robocopy and we have .csv with users name folder path on netapp and appropriate usershare$. It would nice to automate the process when the script reads the input file line by line and creates a corresponding share$ with everyone access permission for it. I would greatly appreciate for the example.
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS. Yes, we know about netapp home share feature, but right now its a matter of exact data migration, same way as it was, so need those shares on netapp.
PS2. If someone has a script based on "cifs share create -vserver" command and an example of how to apply to SVM, this would work too. Thanks!

I have purchased this item (netapp h610s-2) second hand, from a local business, and i can not figure out how to set it up, i do think the main OS was removed from the device. Every time I try to search netapp.com i get the message that i am a guest and i do not have access to the resources. (can be very annoying as i own the hardware but i do not have access to support i need) I have contacted support but i get pushed from one department to another, and unless I do not understand the business model, I almost feel that they do not want me to have access to software regardless if I Own the hardware. I would appreciate some directions on who I need to contact to be able to gain access to the software that is made for the hardware purchased.

I have searched all over the Netapp websites (Hardware Universe, Knowledge Base, Data Sheets) but I cannot find an answer to my simple question: What are the hard drive specifications for the FAS500f? How many hard drives does this hold? What size hard drives (2.5", 3.5", etc.) Does this hold SSDs and/or traditional "spinning" hard disks? What is the max. capacity of each hard drive that can be installed? What is the total available storage capacity when x number of hard drives with z storage capacity are installed? I don't believe that an external disk shelf is required for this hardware, but that this is a controller that also has built in drive bays? My next question is, what kind of switch would be required for this setup, with just one node installed (1 HA pair) and no cluster environment? I am looking at the Cisco C9200 series. Is there somewhere that I can find this information? Synology makes this stuff very clear on their website and data sheets. I am new to NetApp and finding information is incredibly difficult and time consuming. Thanks!
