Hello. I am currently installing a metrocluster ip system with two AFF-A70 with 24disk each ADP2 setting. ONTAP ver. 9.16.1P6 I am having a technical difficulties with setting up as a Active/Passive mode. What I am intending is for one cluster to serve only data and mirror on the other, once switched over the mirror cluster would serve as a data role. Is there a guide or methods to make one system to serve data on one cluster and mirror standby on the another? Or is it simply not possible to set it up on metrocluster ip? I am trying a few other methods but it seems not to work at all.   These are the documents that I have been looking into. https://www.netapp.com/media/13480-tr4705.pdf https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/mc/MC-KBs/How_to_initialize_a_MetroCluster_IP_for_an_active-passive_setup https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/install-ip/task_sw_config_configure_clusters.html https://www.netapp.com/pdf.html?item=/media/13481-tr4689pdf.pdf ...

We are thinking about testing SMB encryption impact on our NAS-filer (meaning server-client SBM share based or vserver encryption). Is there a way to measure impact it has on the filer? I'm familiar with "perfstat"-type perf analysis, but can't find a counter which points to SVM encryption.    We would like to do base run, then run with encryption on and compare the results.   All information appreciated, Jari ...

Hello Folks, I took back a old Netapp from one of your client, a FAS2554. I need to recover this old boy, to use it at a lab. The thing is, it is unhealthy . It is a 2 controller chassis. I began by update the both nodes from Ontap version 8.3.2 to 9.1P20. (to have a UI that I can access. TLS 1.0) I have now another problem in my cluster. My node 1 doesn't come online in the cluster .   BNAP2554::> storage failover show Takeover Node Partner Possible State Description -------------- -------------- -------- ------------------------------------- BNAP2554-01 BNAP2554-02 true Connected to BNAP2554-02.
