Hi, We are new to NetApp, and this is our first post in these forums. I did open a ticket with support asking this same question, but thought it would be worth while to reach out to the NetApp community as well. Our ActiveIQ suggestions are to install 4 security updates: NTAP-20230214-0002 NTAP-20230110-0006 NTAP-20221209-0010 NTAP-20221209-0009 All 4 patches are indicated as "Potentially Non-disruptive." We have two nodes in our AFF-A250 disk shelf, and 12 disks. This serves as our vSphere datastore, and since this will be the first time we apply any kind of patch or upgrade since we deployed the array, we are concerned that our vSphere environment will be impacted during the upgrade. From what I understand, each node will be upgraded separately, while the other node serves out storage, so this should not impact our vSphere environment. From your experience, is this a safe operation, or should we plan an outage window for our vSphere datastore? Thanks.

We are trying to setup zero touch provisiong for Netapp CDOT systems.
Does Netapp support any option to boot OnTap non-interactively, (may be using netboot) and configure interfaces, user account, and cluster ?

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).

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.

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.
