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

Hello. We are planning to migrate from A200 equipment using 9.4 os to new equipment. Before that, there are more than 100 volumes created on the A200 equipment, but there is nothing organized about what the customer manager actually uses. So I need to know what server uses volume A customer representative has checked the ip from the net connections active show-client command, and it is said that there is a server that is actually in service, but the ip has not been extracted by the command. statistics vol show, qos statistics vol performance show It is possible to check volume performance with the command, but there may be volumes that generate IO when not monitored, so it will be difficult to check with that method. Since version is 9.4, there is no volume usage record in GUI, Is there a way to check other volume usage? Due to the large number of servers, it is difficult for the person in charge to check the servers daily.
