I’ve noticed that NetApp ONTAP’s ADPv2 (root-data-data partitioning) is only supported on SSDs (AFF systems), but not on HDD-based FAS systems. Does anyone know the technical reasons behind this limitation? Are there any official documents or references that explain why ADPv2 cannot be applied to HDDs? ... View more

I'm using Ontap 9.15 and I have an long existing home directory sitting on a CIFS Flexvol. It hosts Ontap home directories in NTFS security style accessed from windows 10 machines. . There are around 10million files on it. The NTFS permissions were set by sharing out the volume to admins and setting the NFTS DACLS via windows. I'm looking to alter the permissions on it using the Ontap CLI (vserver security file-directory apply) but when I look for the security descriptor one does not exist.    Is a security descriptor not created by virtue of creating the DACL in windows?  ...

Hello team!   I have a partner who needs to extend their ONTAP Select evaluation period, and since they did not use Deploy, I don't know how to support them with this extension. In our demo licensing website, I see the Capacity Pools, but nothing about extending this type of evaluation license.   Does anyone know how to extend them?   Thank you very much in advance! ...

Good day all.  I need to pick your brains for a second.   Import-Module DataONTAP $StorageIP = "10.10.1.40" $user = "Power" Connect-NcController $StorageIP -Credential $user -ontapi Invoke-NcSsh -Command 'set -confirmations off'   When running those in Powershell ISE, it works fine, but when running this in regular Powershell window, i get the "Invoke-NcSsh : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"   I have already checked a couple things Running this from a server 2022, got the latest ontap module 9.17, running against a 9.12 SAN.  i have putty installed. Putty path is in the $env:path .  Both instances of ISE and Powershell are run using regular user (not as admin)... Putty registry keys are present, etc..  When i type get-module, the only difference between both is the ISE module that is present in the ISE window.   Have you ever experienced this? I have included a screenshot of both screens so you can see the results.  Obviously that is not all the script does, but it is stuck there atm.       ... View more
