NetApp C30 storage system with two nodes. Two aggregates have been created as per best practices, each with approximately 99.3 TB of usable capacity. Aggregate 1 hosts a CIFS/SMB FlexVol that is currently utilizing around 80 TB out of 99.3 TB. Aggregate 2 hosts an iSCSI volume that is utilizing approximately 10 TB out of 99.3 TB, leaving significant free capacity available. The CIFS share is accessed by users via the mapped network path: \\192.168.30.101\dxb_data\Data All user data resides within a single qtree (without quotas), and the volume junction path is /DXB_DATA, Storage efficency is enable Due to capacity growth on Aggregate 1, I would like to utilize aggregate free capacity for existing CIFS shares. The key requirement is to ensure that end users can continue accessing the HR folder using the existing mapped drive path, with no disruption to service and no changes required on the client side.

Hello, Could anyone help suggest what is the best tool to use in order to pull an audit report that shows the following info: - files, - folders, - permissions, - which user have access to what, - which groups each user belong to. I am new to this environment that comprises 5 different NetApp clusters and management would like to have an idea of the current permissions structure in NetApp. The info will then be used to restructure the groups and permissions. If possible, include a sample result generated by the tool. Thank you

Hi All I've got two NetApp clusters. "ClusterA" and "ClusterB". Both are running ONTAP 9.11.1P10. "ClusterA" has an SVM that contains a volume that has thousands of Shares attached to it (Which is also around 15TB in size). We are planning on Decommissioning "ClusterA" but before we do that we need to move the data over to "ClusterB". What is the best, easiest and safest / most reliable method for us to do this? We need to migrate the SVM from ClusterA to ClusterB but also keep everything in the exact same state. Is there a way? Just to also mention (i'm not sure if this matters), there is a cluster peer between both clusters. Thanks

Hi all, we are designing an archiving workflow and we’d like to get your advice on the best practices from the NetApp perspective. Our source is a NetApp ONTAP cluster with SnapLock volumes (WORM). The target is a remote LTO tape library (WORM media) managed by Commvault. The goal is long-term retention (10+ years). From an ONTAP performance and stability standpoint, does it make sense to use a staging disk for the initial backup and then move it to tape, or have you seen better results with other workflows? Also, considering the data is immutable, would you recommend a "Clean Archive" approach to minimize reads from the SnapLock volumes, or are there benefits to periodic full reads for data integrity checks? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
