We are replacing our old cluster with a new one. We have some PS hours but my manager has asked me to research moving everything over so we at least know what to expect prior to PS engagement. I was thinking that the most efficient method would simply be svm-dr, but I saw a blog post that said that NetApp prefers to set up new svms and just snapmirror the data over, then break the mirror and make the destinations rw. Is there any documentation that describes the hardware refresh process and has a list of steps that are considered best practice so we can be ready for this migration?

It took me very long to setup S3 SnapMirror Bucket in our clusters. However in the end I was able to make it work. I created some test buckets and it worked and i was very happy. However when I tried to sync our S3 buckets from 1 cluster to the other all kind of stuff started to popup with strange and Unknown error reasons. Here is one example:
ch-strt-cl-001::*> snapmirror create -source-path ch_fx_svm_s3_001:/bucket/video-generated -destination-path of_fx_svm_s3_001_dest:/bucket/video-generated-dest4
[Job 78175] Job is queued: Create an S3 SnapMirror relationship between bucket "ch_fx_svm_s3_001:video-generated" and bucket "of_fx_svm_s3_001_dest:video-generated-dest4"..
ch-strt-cl-001::*> job watch-progress -id
<integer> Job ID
ch-strt-cl-001::*> job watch-progress -id 78175
Complete: Cannot create S3 SnapMirror relationship between bucket "video-generated" and bucket "video-generated-dest4". Reason : Cannot create S3 SnapMirror relationship between bucket "video-generated" and bucket "video-generated-dest4". Reason : Failed to perform create op for bucket "video-generated" in Vserver "ch_fx_svm_s3_001". Reason: Unknown. [139591706]
Hope that somebody can help me out.
thank you.

I want to backup my SMB/CIFS share on my FAS2750. Need to add the filer as a storage object in Veeam 11. Authentication fails when adding the filer into Veeam using a local user assigned the built in NetApp role called "backup". I can successfully add the filer into Veeam if I specify the filer admin account. I don't want to use the admin account. I opened a support case with Veeam and they said I need to specify additional permissions per this guide. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/vsphere/required_permissions.html#netapp-data-ontap-lenovo-thinksystem-dm-permissions The section titled CDOT (NAS Backup Integration) The specified permissions are not found in OnTap 9.12.1 For example need to grant DEFAULT the "readonly" permission. DEFAULT is not available. Merely a long list of /api/blahblahblah Yet there it is. Plain as day on the admin role. What am I missing?

Hi Gurus, We are migrating vfilers from 7-mode (CIFS only access) to CDOT. I like to destroy the 7-mode vfiler and use same name and IP details for the new SVM so that I dont have to change any user share path names. In this regard, do I need to delete the CIFS Server object in AD and recreate it by from CDOT with Vserver CIFS create or can I re-use the CIFS Server AD object (I prefer to do this way). Just wanted to understand the active directory CIFS server object has any attribute specific to 7-mode or CDOT? if not reusing the object should not be an issue correct? please advise.
