Hello All, Quick question. We all know with the newer storage arrays they have ADP already enabled so you don't need to have as many spare drives as traditionally you might have before ADP. If you had a new C80 delivered to your door step, all SSD, 24 drives, RAID-DP which would be a better scenario or more in line with NetApp recommendations. I know much of the decision depends on workload and other factors but It seem like option 2 is the better choice. Create 1 big aggregate using all usable partitions ~66 data partitions (from ~22 drives) RAID-DP (12–14 drives per RAID group, automatic grouping by ONTAP) 1 spare full drive (3 partitions) Split into 2 aggregates, each made of two RAID groups. Each aggregate = 33 partitions (11 data + 2 parity) × 2 groups Leaves 1 full spare drive Split into 2 aggregates but with smaller RAID groups (10 data + 2 parity). RAID groups of 12 partitions (smaller size) Each aggregate ~2 RAID groups Leaves 1 full spare disk

Checking to see what are the most common commands for ONTAP CLI being used? I see a reference in docs but just curious if anyone has a cheat sheet or a list that they recommend.

We've ran into the HW-Issue where one Node shuts down because the SP Heartbeat was missed. Node-A goes offline and comes back online. Node-B has taken over successfully. However, the Giveback of one SFO Aggregate was vetoed because of CIFS Locks. We need to force the Giveback but have to wait a couple of weeks until a maint. window is approved since critical Applications work on these CIFS Shares. What happens now if Node-B goes offline while holding the SFO-Aggregate of Node-A? Is the Giveback forced or is the Aggregate going offline? Thank you in advance!

Has anyone enabled FIPS mode? We have several FAS 8060 nodes in a cluster with ONTAP 9.3P15 and we are looking to enable FIPS mode.
I am looking at this document:
https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-cm-nmg%2FGUID-A799B86D-B1B5-4AB6-B610-D0651D7C1548.html
So if I run and reboot:
security config modify -interface SSL -is-fips-enabled true
Does the security config looks like this?
FIPS: on
SSL protocol = {TLSv1.2}
SSL ciphers = {ALL:!LOW:!aNULL:!EXP:!eNULL:!RC4}
Any issue anyone experience?
What if we need TLS v1.1?

Hi, I have a six node cluster at the moment - 3, two node pairs. NODE3 - Will be decommissioned. NODE4 - Will be decommissioned. NODE5 - No change NODE6 - No change NODE7 - New Node NODE8 - New Node I've got Load Sharing volumes configured for my SVM's. One of my SVM's has the SVM root volume on NODE3. The replicated LS volumes are on NODE3, NODE4, NODE5 and NODE6. I will need to move the root volume from NODE3 to NODE7 and the replicated volumes on NODE3 and NODE4 to NODE7 and NODE8. Is it just a case of quiescing the snapmirror and then moving the root and replicated volumes and then resuming the snapmirror, or is there anything additional to be done with LS volumes? Thanks, Ben
