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'm running OnTap 9.3 and user home directories. I'd like to run some reports on the number of files/folders and counts of each on the volume. Even better if I could see the file types. I see in OnTap 8.3+ that there is some native capability for this as per here File System Analytics overview (netapp.com). For Ontap 9.3 what could I use? XCP whilst cool seems slow as has to trawl the 2m + files on the share(s).

Hi i m using ontap 9.11 and considering migratin from NFSV3 to NFSV4. I m carefully reading the following document NFS in NetApp ONTAP Best practice and implementation guide https://www.netapp.com/media/10720-tr-4067.pdf in page 64 it talk about potential outage and takevoer. When it s written during a failover Lock state is not moved; up to 45s outage when locks are in use. Does that mean that all the Netapp is out of reachable up to 45 seconds or just the file that the lock is put on. It s not exactly the same in term of impacts.

Hi I'm configurig new volumes in Ontap 9.12.1 with commands. I indicate these parameters: -size 10TB -security-style unix -space-guarantee none -max-autosize 10.5TB -autosize-grow-threshold-percent 90 -autosize-mode grow But when the volume is created the autogrow size I find it in 12TB What could be the reason? Thanks

We deleted snapshots and files but didn't free up any space. It has been bothered me for a while so far no clue what happened. Can someone give me some ideas? We are on OnTap 9.10 with AFF servers. Example one: We have a CIFS share around 12TB, my application team moved 4TB data (hospital images) to another share and expected to free up some space. After we cleaned up all snapshots (seeing the deleted data), we still couldn't see free space from the share or volume. our aggregate only gets 1:1.7 overall deduplication and compression saving, deleted 4TB not even free up 100GB space. i couldn't explain. Example two: We have some datastores (sized as 8TB)on VMware alerts lack of space. After we checked around, we found we have some big SnapCenter snapshots on these volumes, we deleted all big snapshots around 3TB in size, then when check the snapshot and volume usage with "df -h" we didn't see any space freed up. After rescan storage on VMWare, these datastores still alerting of space shortage. Can someone please explain to me what is happening? thanks in advance !
