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.

I need to enable native audit at the volume level, not going to the share on windows -> properties-> Security and adding the SACL there as that will take long of time and fail if the user doesnt have permission over all folders and file. Is there any better way to enable SACL audit entries at the volume level from netapp cli? can you explain and post all command to enable audit and SACL on volume test per example?

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.

Hi Team,
Do we have support for 3-site replication in latest CDOT 9.7P5?
One of the customer has Primary Site, Near DR and FAR DR. Would like to check if NetApp supports 3-site replication?

Were running a single node cluster on our DR site and we are planning to upgrade it to Ontap 9.3P12 from 9.3
I was searching how to do it online and came across the following KB
https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-cm-ug-rdg%2FGUID-B93B2383-9600-4535-971A-297DDA7564CD.html
Is the above KB enough to update the Ontap without any downtime?
Any insight on this matter will be more than appreciated!
