Hello there,   I'd like to know if I can join an existing ONTAP 9.8 cluster from a node (ONTAP 9.8) located in a different subnet. Does the node must be in the same subnet than the cluster one?   I don't find anything about this subject, if you have any documentation about this question i'll take it!   Regards. Yash ...

Not a question, but a contribution. Here is an excel spreadsheet containing all storage efficiency-related pieces of information. I think it might be useful to share. NetApp's OnTap releases are coming out fast, it's hard to keep an eye on everything. This might help. Not perfect. Will add more to it. Comments are welcomed.  ... View more

Hi,  My question may sound like I'm a newbie, but I'll ask it anyway.    Suppose a 100 GB thin Flexvol sits on an aggregate to serve as an iSCSI volume (VolumeA). 10% of this volume is occupied with user files and snapshots. A sysadmin deletes the volume. The next day, another volume is created on the same aggregate (VolumeB) and presented as an iSCSI LUN to a new Linux server. A clever Linux guy wants to peek a the volume at the first few blocks of the LUN using DD or some other similar techniques.    What are the chances that OnTap will return a block that was previously used by the first volume that was deleted?   (suppose there is no encryption in use in that system).    Thank you for educating me! ...

Yesterday, we being adding disk and adding disk shelf in existing NetApp FAS8200. As our normal, we will disconnect sign path of original SAS cable in last disk shelf and connected SAS cable with new disk shelf in order to confirm the connection between controller and disk shelf. We acknowledge the single path to disk shelf alert will be trigger, but we also received error message with Disk Redundancy failed. May I know is that was a same symptom with single path to disk shelf alert? Many thanks..... ... View more
