Hi, We currently have a CDOT FAS2750A storage with a DS212C tray. We also have a 7Mode FAS 2040A storage that has a DS4246 tray connected and the storage is turned off, I don't know if it has an aggregate or several created. What I would like is to be able to use the DS4246 tray in the FAS2750A storage, I currently have the IOM12 so I can add them to the DS4246 and cables. What I don't know is what steps I have to take and how. Do I have to format the DS4246 tray and for this I have to turn on the cabin 7 mode FAS2240A? Can I add the IOM12 modules to the DS4246 tray and then wire to the end of the other DS212C tray, and then give disk? I'm a bit lost, in what steps should I perform and what commands to use. Thanks,

Hello everyone, This is my first post in NetApp Community, and i want to ask a question. So, right now i`m doing a POC Scenario using NetApp AFF A300 with 133 LUNs and will be presented to Solaris Host, my question is. Could we present those 133 LUNs to Solaris in 1 simple way / 1 time execution all those LUNs can be presented maybe using script or something. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

I am decommissioning two nodes in a four node NetApp cluster. The cluster is a SnapMirror destination and source. I edited the cluster peer relationships on each peer cluster and removed the IP's for the nodes being decommissioned. I then disabled and deleted the two intercluster LIFs for the two nodes being decommissioned. For good measure, I removed the intercluster ports on these two nodes from the broadcast domain Replication is still working, but for some reason the System Manager GUI shows "Availability" as "Partial" for each peer cluster. Similarly, at the command prompt, when I enter "cluster peer health show", there are still entries for the two nodes that are being decommissioned. Any ideas on how to clean up the cluster database and tell it to get rid of these IP's fully?

Looks we are getting low deduplication ratio without snapshots. it is about 1.3 to 1.5. We have 70% SAN and 30% of CIFS/NFS data. We are using AFF300 on 9.7P6, with cross volume deduplication and compression enabled. We also have aggregate level encryption enabled. Not sure if it is normal or not. Please share your experience and ways to improvements. thanks.

We are on the stage to set up DR for our production NetApp. we know we have choices between volume snapmirror or SVM-DR. as I know, the SnapMirror will replicate volumes, it is available for failover or failback. the SVM-DR will replicate all SVM include config and volumes to DR site for failover in case. Can some one share your experience on more details on advantages and disadvantages on each? On this moment, we will more focus on CIFS volumes. we are on 9.7P6. thanks.
