Hi there,   I was looking for some opinions on the best approach to a situation I have.   I have a HA pair with each node having 4 ethernet ports. On each node, 2 of the four ports go to switch A and 2 go to switch B. We cannot use LACP across the switches. For redundancy and bandwidth purposes I created an ifgrp on each node that trunked them together. I set it up as a multimode ifgrp based on IP policy. The odd thing is if down both connections to switch A  (leaving just both switch B connections) the svm continues to work however if down both connections to switch B (leaving the A connections up) the svm doesnt ping. All interfaces are up in usual mode and its not like the ports on switch A appear to be faulty.   Therefore given the above scenario how would yourselves setup the networking for best balance of redundancy and bandwidth. I know i can make it easy and just go single mode but that seems a waste of links, also as mentioned we cant use LACP as the switches don't support it and we can group across the separate switches. The ports are just plain connections and I was hoping I could do the grouping on the storage side.   We are using CDOT 9.7, any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks     ...

Hello Experts, I have some unmirrored volumes for my database servers that are not replicated on the DR site and vise versa. It has its own H.A on the database side. What happens if I start failover? do I still need manual adjustment for non-mirrored volumes? How about CIFS currently configured on both sides. What are the steps in handling CIFS share prior to the activity. Please advise. ... View more

Hello, I have a Unix admin who is able mount and create a directory on NFSv4 share I provide from my NetApp running ONTAP 9.8p11.    Her host is running Solaris 11 ( I know they need to migrate off Solaris)   She creates a directory from the NetApp volume.  The problem occurs when she tries to change the ownership of the directory she creates the change in ownership to another user doesn't work.     Setgid is not recognized.   We had the same issue on RHEL but I changed the NFSV4 id mapping domain and the Linux changed the ipmapd.conf on their server and rebooted and this issue went away.   Any thoughts on how we can resolve this issue on the Solaris 11 hosts?     Much appreciated.     ...
