- ONTAP select node does not support vmotion. Is this solely because of DAS?
- Can I power off the ONTAP VM, migrate the VMDK files and power it up on a different ESXi server?
- For a 4-node cluster, how do you recover ONTAP select node after a hardware replacement of the underlying compute?
- Assuming the storage data is still intact, can I just bring up the ONTAP Select VM, and do a HA failback and resync the mirrored aggregate?
- If the storage data is gone, how to I recover the lost ONTAP Select VM?
- What are the steps to configure the iSCSI mailbox disks?
- how do we segregate the iSCSI network from the HA heartbeat on ONTAP Select internal network?
- what are the requirements for the mailbox disks?
- Why we cannot convert ONTAP Select from Evaluation mode to Production mode?
- This is very inconvenient for customer that wish to keep the data after testing
- What are the best practices for aggregate creation on ONTAP select?
- The ONTAP Select cut even number equal-sized (max at 8TB) vmdk disks from the datastore, what is the algorithm?
- The aggregate is RAID 0 and mirrored between HA. Should I create one big aggregate using all the disks?
- Can I have both SAS and SSD disks for a Premium license ONTAP Select node?
- How do the ONTAP select name the disks?
- Does it know the disk type of the underlying storage?
- Is there any existing use case that customer SnapVault the data from ONTAP Select to ONTAP Cloud?
