Hi Everyone I have a Customer who wants to use multiple WAN links between two sites, to do mirroring from one Cluster to Another. The peering and snapmirror relationships has already been established from the Production to the DR systems via the first WAN link, but they are adding an additional application on the Production system, which they want to mirror via a separate WAN link. (Same Prod and DR systems). I know in 7-mode you were able to force mirroring to use dedicated network interfaces - is it possible to do that in the latest versions of ONTAP? I assume you will need different VLANS etc, but how will the peering work, as it is already established? Will it be better to create a new vserver for this application and use SVM mirroring? Regards and thanks for your help.

Is there a way in cdot to disable all password policies temporarily? I know there was a way in 7-mode because I did it a few times, but can't find the equivalent in cdot. Use case is simple: I have a local account set up on all of our clusters that already has a secure password. On ONE of those clusters I need to 'change' the password to upgrade from MD5 to SHA512, but I don't want to actually change it. Problem is the "disallowed-reuse" setting under security login role config modify has a MINIMUM of 6, so the only way around it is to disable all policies, make the change, then re-enable.

Hi! Since ZAPI will be replaced soon i started tinkering with our scripts but noticed i get less information from using the REST API than ZAPI in all cases or no information at all from simple cmdlets to our larger scripts since they use most of the built in cmdlets thats come from the ONTAP module in some way right now. Few examples below: "PS C:\Windows\system32> get-ncaggr Name State TotalSize Used Available Disks RaidType RaidSize Volumes ---- ----- --------- ---- --------- ----- -------- -------- ------- aggr_data_02 online 49.8 TB 23.1 TB 17 23 aggr_data_01 online 23.0 TB 10.4 TB 34 17" "RaidType & RaidSize Volumes" info is missing but listed as if they should be there and they are if i use "-ZAPICALL" after the command. Get-NcSnapmirror not working at all in our system, it does with zapicall Get-Ncvol is missing the "data used in %" i find that an important thing to have. "depude" entry is not shown its empty. vserver and aggregate entry is showing less information than before. started to play around with the anti ransomware protection cmdlets since i want a script to monitor this. But all of these have problems aswell or showing almost no relevant information. applies to all CMDlets using "Get-NcAnti.." System im testing on right now is at ONTAP version 9.13.1P2. anyone have any input on this or if it will be fixed ? Im expecting that it will since ZAPI is about to be replaced starting at 2024 and i could rewrite all of our scripts but would rather not. i have read other threads on this and not seen a clear answer what NetApp is going to do about it.
