I need to move OnTAP Deploy functionality to a new VM with a new IP address. This instance of Deploy manages a single two node OnTAP Select cluster. I've created the new VM and began the procedure outlined here:   https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_Select/How_to_migrate_ONTAP_Select_deploy_tool_to_a_new_VM_machine   I am to the point where I would restore the backup from the original VM to the new VM. However, a key step is missing - when do I power off the old VM to ensure a seamless transition? OR, should I expect a brief interruption of service? How will the cluster know it is being managed from a different Deploy box after the transition? To be more specific, entering storage iscsi-initiator show on the cluster shows the IP of the current Deploy box. How will it "know" to change this? Would love to hear any insight or suggestions! ...

I'm using ONTAPI version 1.3 and I'm trying to collect cifs share information. In the response XML I'm only seeing the volume name, I wish to get the volume UUID as well. I'm using cifs-share-get-iter to collect the cifs share information. Should I be using some other API to get the mapping with the volume uuid? I'm completely new to NetApp ecosystem so any help would be much appreciated. ... View more

Hello,   I have bought a used NetApp DS2246 and a switch: Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series PoE-48. I am new to the data storage area and just want to set up a simple NAS. I have watched many tutorials and tried to find the needed informtion to get it to work.   I have figured out: 1. the DS2246 uses SAS cables to connect to the switch for data transfer 2. the built in LAN ports are only for management access 3. Maybe i need another device (FAS) for it to work? 4. My switch has 2 SFP ports   Is there any way to connect my DS with my switch? Is there a special cable from SAS to SFP? Or what else am i missing?   Any help would be appreciated.     ... View more

Hi everyone, I've been trying to figure out how to pull the File System Analytics in ONTAP 9 and ingest, pull export the data into Splunk.  My customer approached me with this question "Can we upload/ingest the ONTAP FS Analytics into Splunk to get real time FS statistic?" when we were testing the new features in ONTAP 9.8 in our lab and discover the File System Analytics.  So I thought I would put it out to the Community to see if anyone else was doing anything similar. Bye the way, my thoughts are not limited to just Splunk.  I would really prefer to do the same thing with OCI or CI if I could. So far I've been try to do it via REST API's with is pretty cumbersome primarily do to my knowledge work with API's. I appreciate all and any input.    ... View more
