I'm looking automate the creation of user home directory shares on my OnTap 9.3 cluster. Initially I went down the route of exposing the root of the CIFS volume as users$ (locked down to admins of course) then using a Powershell script to create the user folder then modify the DACL/SACL and ownership. This worked well but I was wondering if there is a API I could leverage within OnTap to do this?

Hi We had a SATA disk in a failed state for a while (few months) in an old disk aray FAS8040. One day we've noticed that this disk was no more failed but spare. I assume that it has happened due to a reboot of a controller node. I don't like this behaviour. Can we rely on that disk or is it better to force its recognition as faulty? Thanks

We are running ONTAP version 9.9.1P7. We have been using Sophos, but that product is EOL. We are trying to decide among the remaining vendors- McAfee, Trend Micro, and Symantec. Has anyone had good/bad experiences with any of these? Does anyone have a recommendation for best option?

Hello, I have big problems with setting up snapmirror for buckets. I did spend a huge amount of time on this and it is still not working. I am pretty sure that I followed all steps and that all certificates are right now. In the jobs log overview I even see the bucket being created and after a while deleted again: I also tried to do bucket snapmirrors within the same cluster, so no intercluster, but even there it doesn't want to work. Running Version 9.11.1RC1 on all clusters. I can't wait to hear the solution after spending all these hours on this issue ;( thank you Maurice
