We have a large amount of VMs on NetApp, have to backup all CIFS share, VMs, SQL and Exchange and other applications daily. Lately we have some VM performance issues, we doubted the backups, specially VM, big SQL and Exchange backups generated too much read traffic and slow the NetApp performance. can someone share your experience and solutions? thanks in advance.

The old 7-mode versions of Ops Manager and System Manager require Adobe Flash, which will cease working on Google Chrome on 12/31/2020. While I know 7-mode is on the way out, there are still a few 7-mode systems out there (we have three 2220's left running 7-mode). Are there any considerations being given to update or change these applications to not require Adobe Flash?

We have a source a a destination cluster. Both clusters have a single intercluster lif for each node as of now. They have existing cluster peers with some other existing clusters. We want to setup cluster peer between these two but we want to use new interfaces. We have a stretched L2 connectivity between the two and we want to utilize that. What would be the best approach to make sure that intercluster traffic between the two goes through the new lifs that we create and does not use the existing lifs. Both can reach each other on existing lifs as well.

I'm new to NetApp and I'm looking for the procedure to change the IP address of the cluster network on a NetApp FAS 2552. now cluster IP address:169.254.0.0/16 new cluster IP address:192.168.10.0/24 The problem is the following. === FAS2552-02-cluster::*> network interface modify -vserver Cluster -lif FAS2552-02-cluster-01_clus1 -address 192.168.10.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 Warning: Changes to a cluster LIF can affect the health of the Cluster. Are you sure you want to continue? {y|n}: y Error: command failed: Since masking an address with a netmask represents an entire IP subnet, the masked and unmasked IP addresses cannot be the same. === === FAS2552-02-cluster::*> network interface show -role cluster Logical Status Network Current Current Is Vserver Interface Admin/Oper Address/Mask Node Port Home ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------------ ------------- ------- ---- Cluster FAS2552-02-cluster-01_clus1 up/up 169.254.107.231/16 FAS2552-02-cluster-01 e0f false FAS2552-02-cluster-01_clus2 up/up 169.254.72.160/16 FAS2552-02-cluster-01 e0f true FAS2552-02-cluster-02_clus1 up/up 169.254.142.171/16 FAS2552-02-cluster-02 e0f false FAS2552-02-cluster-02_clus2 up/up 169.254.249.1/16 FAS2552-02-cluster-02 e0f true 4 entries were displayed. === Is there a way to achieve my goal? Thank you in advance.

There is NFS volume containing about 500 GB data, however, about 450GB data is being used by SnapShots due to a frequent changed/deleted data in a directory. I am thinking to separate this directory from NFS volume, and move it to the other NFS volume without having snapshot setting. Does this solution make sense to you, any other better solution?
