Hello We are migrating from SAN DELL Force 25S switches to Cisco Nexus 31108TC-V,. Network engineer configured ports on Nexus and I did a test. I figured out that Nexus does not pass iscsi traffic. All configuration was verified on new and old switches. I just moved on interface on Netapp and one on the ESXi host. So, one path on the new switch and another on the old switch. Is there anything I am doing wrong. I do not want to shut down -move and bring everything back. I am sure i can do it ND. Thank you in advance.

I'm aware of the following post which outlines many user's woes with the OnTAP 9.8 GUI (including my own). Now that many of us are on 9.9.1, I'm starting a thread to summarize what issues remain on this version. Hopefully this can 'go up the chain' to encourage further restoration of functionality that was stripped out of 9.8 and above. https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Simplifying-ONTAP-User-Experience/m-p/163639 Please chime in if you've had the same or additional issues. Also, if someone is aware, please let us know if any of these issues are resolved in 9.10.1. For the record, I really like the new GUI as a whole and find the new features useful, but the loss of very basic and critical functionality at the same time takes away from the enjoyment to say the least. Efficiency Details – cannot view compression and deduplication job status and statistics on a per volume basis. Event Log – you only get the full text of an event when you point to it, in a tool-tip format. Expanding it doesn’t give you the full text either. It is critical to be able to select/copy/paste events so they can be sent word for word to NetApp Support and searched on Google. SnapMirror Policy Choice – unlike before, you can’t select a snapmirror policy. We use network compression on all of our jobs so we have a single custom policy we use for every job. This means that for the first time in 10 years since we started using NetApp, I won’t be able to create SnapMirror jobs in the GUI because we need to use a different policy. Aggregate Percent Full – restore the % full column in the Aggregate (i.e. “Tier”) list. For that matter, restore the columnar Aggregate list! It was so easy for 10+ years to just glance and know % full for each aggregate, and now you have to eyeball it and guess. I use this stat frequently. I can get it from ActiveIQ Unified Manager but would like to have it here also. To me this is very basic. It’s a storage product and you want to know the % of storage used! Volume Percent Full – at least the Volume list can add a Percent Full column back, but you have to do it every time. There’s no way to save a view. Would request either restoring the column permanently or at least allowing us to save a view. I use the % full column frequently. Again, this is as basic as it gets for a storage product! Volume Resize Autosize Amount – previously, going back 10+ years, when you resize a volume the autosize amount automatically adjusts to 20% of the new volume size. In the new GUI, the autosize amount doesn’t change. You have to pull out the Calculator and manually recalculate it. Considering we have autosize turned on for EVERY VOLUME, this is a major pain point considering the fact that resizing is the most common task we perform on a weekly basis.

hello I am wondering, Is there a way to find top DataRead/DataWrite files (not volumes) on ontap ? I checked Ontap Analytics API but I cannot find what I am looking for. today I see unusual high Read operations on two Ontap Volumes (containing openstack volumes), finding those files with top DataRead will help a lot

hi I have ifgrp a0a bonding e4a & e4b in each of my A800 nodes. distr-func is set to "ip". port utilization is not in balance, as shown below: Clients (openstack nodes) are in the same subnet of ontap Data Network, Connected through layer2 switch with LACP configured in 802.3ad. The imbalance exist on both received & sent traffic. What can I do to distribute traffic equally between e4a & e4b ?
