I'm looking at a use case as follows:   Use case: I have a CIFS share with a DACL in place to allow various AD groups various levels of access. I wish to set it to read-only without modifying the DACL or setting the read-only bit as I don't want to touch the files directly (several million).    I was thinking of using a storage level gaurd for this purpose but I'm not 100% clear on if there is any effective permissions between a standard NTFS DACL and the storage level gaurd or if they are simply seperate controls checked in order i.e. are permissions combined from both levels and an effective permission outoput or is it simply a set of checks in order that the user has to pass e.g. NTFS level checked and then if access allowed storage level checked. if NTFS access denied storage level not checked as no need. For exmaple: Q1: If UserA is a Member of GroupA and has write on ShareA at the NTFS level and a member of GroupB that has read at the storage level I'd assume they get read access ultimately? Q2: If UserA is a Member of GroupA and has read on ShareA at the NTFS level and a member of GroupB that has write at the storage level I'd assume they get writeaccess ultimately?     ... View more

We enabled Analytics on our CIFS volumes and can easily see the data in the ONTAP GUI. I'd like to export the data to a CSV (or any file format) but don't see any options in the CLI. Has anyone found a way to get this data out other than looking at each volume in the GUI? I looked at the PowerShell module but didn't see anything there either - unless I missed something. API? ...

Hi All,    I'm doing a piece of work where we have installed two new controllers in to our production six node cluster and im moving all the storage and anything the first four nodes host to the new nodes. The majority of our virtual machines and storage are presented via iscsi. Its come to my attention that I would need to create new lifs on the new nodes, which means i would then have to configure each virtual machine with the new entry IP for iscsi which would be a pain. The easiest and quickest solution would be for us to migrate the iscsi lif thats on node1 to node 5/6. Not sure if this is possible. - if its possible would it cause any downtime or disruption to any services etc?   thanks ... View more
