I have two (2) LUNs in a single volume. This prevents me from doing a Guest File Restore via SnapCenter.
If I were to move one of the LUNs to a new volume would this be at all disruptive if the LUN is currently presented to clustered ESXi hosts (6.5 U2) and contains several VMDKs which are attached as Basic Disks to Windows 2012 Servers?
Documentation doesn't specifically call out any risk of disruption and I've done similar operations via volume move without disruption. But rather than assume anything I was hoping the community could provide some real-world practical advice from the LUN perspective.
Thank you in advance for said advice.

Looking for clarification on the windows options for lun create. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9121//lun-create.html windows - the LUN will be used with a Master Boot Record (MBR) partition table on Microsoft Windows 2003 or earlier. windows_2008 - the LUN will be used with Microsoft Windows 2008 or later. windows_gpt - the LUN will be used with a GUID Partition Type (GPT) partition table on Microsoft Windows. I'm building servers newer than 2003 so would never use the "windows" MBR option. But my new servers are GPT so do I select windows_2008 or windows_gpt? What's the difference between these ostype parameters? I wish the "windows" type could be renamed to "windows_2003" so it's not misleading.

Hi, Has anyone tried or know if possible to FabricPool Mirror between a Remote Cluster Tier (StorageGRID) and Local Cluster Tier (ONTAP S3)? The StorageGRID bucket is connected via the Intercluster LIFs and the Local Cluster Tier would traverse the backend Cluster LIFs. Is it supported? Just thinking of options to migrate FabricPool object store data from StorageGRID to a FAS.

In ONTAP ARP, the max snapshot copies is 8. What happens if arw.surge.snap.interval.days is set to 100 days. And there are multiple attacks, lets say, 100 attacks to same volume, how many ARP snapshots will be retained? If it is 8, then arw.surge.snap.interval.days is meanless. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/anti-ransomware/modify-automatic-snapshot-options-task.html
