Hi, we have a 2-node AFF-A250 running ontap 9.14.1. I'm experimenting with NVMe over TCP and have a question: how can you load balance namespaces between the 2 nodes? When creating a namespace it's creates the volume automatically and chooses the aggregate by itself. How can you ensure that the NVMe namespace load is evenly distributed between the 2 nodes in the cluster?

Hello everyone! We have encountered the following problem. We have a Storage E2724, which is now End of Life. We used it in production a couple of years ago, configured as FC. We decided to use it for our backup infrastructure, but we need to switch it to iSCSI mode. As we understand, this is done by activating the Feature Pack. We need to request a key from NetApp support and connect it. Unfortunately, we no longer have support since the storage is End of Life. We found that the controllers have an SMID of 214, and this value needs to be changed to SMID 250. Is there any way to do this? (via telnet, management, etc.)

Hello, we are coming back to Netapp and we want to implement again an antivirus solution. 5 years ago we were using McAfee but the security teams is telling me this is too hard to maintain and administer. What is your experience (quality/ease of use)with the different supported antivirus : - Trellix/Mcafee - Symantec - Trend Micro - Sentinel One - Deep Instinct Also our corporate solution is Microsoft Defender does someone was able to make it worked? Will it eventually be supported? Thanks

I have a Netapp AFF C800 system with several network interfaces including 2 x 25Gbps 2-port cards. These 25Gbps ports are seen by Ontap as RDMA RoCE enabled. I created a LACP (IP based) portgroup by taking the first port of each of the 2 cards inside each controller. On the LACP portgroup a0a, the RDMA Protocol column no longer shows the RoCE entry as it did for the individual boards. When I go to create a LIF of type Data - NFS, SMB/CIFS and check the “Use RoCE ports” checkbox, I get the error message “A broadcast domain with RoCE-capable ports wasn't found”. So my question is this: is it possible to use RoCE on a LIF if Link Aggregation Groups are created? If so, how should I create the LAG in order to have RoCE? Or do I have to do it completely differently e.g., by not creating the lag? Thank you
