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 Team, There are: 1) AFF-A250 Storage System; 2) VMware vCenter Cluster with many ESXi hosts. Need to map 1 LUN to multiple ESXi hosts in same Cluster, protocol NVMe/TCP. I have find Knowledge Article: https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/da/SAN/SAN-KBs/Can_we_map_a_lun_to_multiple_ESXi_host_in_different_cluster_managed_by_same_vCenter . It is possible, but for more information kindly reach out to VMware vendor. With mapping on 1 ESXi host - there are no problem, link: https://community.netapp.com/t5/Tech-ONTAP-Blogs/How-to-Configure-NVMe-TCP-with-vSphere-8-0-Update-1-and-ONTAP-9-13-1-for-VMFS/ba-p/445429 . But, how to map 1 LUN to multiple ESXi hosts? Thank you!

We are currently using netapp xml auditing and enabling SACLs using Windows Explorer Client to set SACL permissions for everyone read,write, delete etc. 1) When we apply this SACL to big fillers with millions of folders and files it has to apply this recursive and take lot of time and also fails on many folders because inheritance is broken and user doesnt have permission, etc etc. Is there any way to apply this much faster at the root level of the share/volume avoiding this errors, permissions, broken inheritance, time, and other common problems? does "vserver security file-directory ntfs sacl modify" has the same problem? is faster? 2) Does fpolicy auditing also requires setting this SACLs on all folders/files or just enable fpolicy? how you set what operations to audit? I know windows file server requires this and most storages based on windows, but applying SACLS for larger file server is always a problem.
