We typically use ssh key-based authentication in our environment for the increased security over password auth. I'm looking into setting up Multi-admin verification for things like volume deletes. However in testing, I noticed that any admin can change any others' public keys, and therefore log in as any other MAV admin. By default, MAV creates a rule to restrict "security login password", but not to restrict "security login publickey", and you can't add such a rule either: > security multi-admin-verify rule create -operation "security login publickey" -query "-multi-admin-approver true -different-user true"
Error: command failed: Operation "security login publickey" is not supported by this feature. This seems like a huge hole, or am I misunderstanding something here?

Hello Experts, We recently purchase a hybrid FAS2750 controller with 12 960GB SSDs and two DS212C shelves with 12 10TB drives each. We want use the SSDs aggr0 and the rest for vSphere esxi. The 24 HDDs (one large aggr) for CIFS. Is it possible to use the SSD (maybe RAID4 to minimize the number of disks) for aggr0? Netapp documentation says aggr0 will use SSDs only if the entire system (controller & shelves) contain SSDs only. Otherwise root aggregate will use HDDs. I don't mind to use HDDs but it seems I will be wasting a lot of disk space for just aggr0. I know you use use ADP for root aggregate but agg0 is created automatically, how do I setup ADP before agg0 is created? We also want to use the leftover SSDs for caching of the HDDs. Any advices on best way to get going? I am fairly familiar with the Netapp OnTap software except on creating aggr0. Any advices will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help!

I recently created three Storage VMs for disaster recovery (DR) and applied the Asynchronous protection policy. On two of the SVM DRs, I can only see hourly snapshots, kept for 1 hour, but no daily or weekly snapshots. However, my test SVM DR shows hourly and daily snapshots retained for 7 days. I'm unsure why the daily and weekly snapshots are not appearing for those two SVM DRs. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I’d appreciate any insights into what might be causing this.

I'm sure this is probably published somewhere but I cant seem to find it via google so I am hoping someone here can help me with this question. I'm trying to find a doc or tool on the NetApp site that lists all the configuration maximum limits for Ontap (preferably by version). Does such a web page or doc exist? Thanks... M
